A few days ago, I entered a Creator ID for the Fortnite Share the Love event and bought an item to get the free wrap in the 7.40 patch update.

Now, I don't want to support a creator anymore. I tried blanking out the creator name, then submit but it was telling me "Connection error. Please try again later" on Switch and PC.

Looking into the Support-a-Creator FAQ, I cannot find any information concerning removing the supported creator. Changing the supported creator works just fine. Do I really have to keep supporting a creator?

According to the information on EpicGames Support-A-Creator page, the support will last 14 days. After the the period is up, you will be able to choose either a previous/new player to support or (if I am interpreting it correctly) be free from supporting players until you choose to support again.

You can change the Creator you support at any time. Your support for a Creator lasts 14 days. After that, you can reselect your Creator or choose a new one at any time.

So no, you cannot change your support a creator at any time. You can change it 2 weeks later, meaning that any purchase you make in those 2 weeks is supporting said creator. Meaning fortnite has removed your freedom of choice in unsupporting creators, yet people still advertise it as if the player does in fact have freedom of choice and can instantly remove said creator code, which is simply not true.
