There is a GitHub issue for this: https://github.com/Azure/azure-cosmos-db-emulator-docker/issues/60
At the moment it does not help to delete and pull the image. It looks like a global issue which only Microsoft can fix by pushing a new image with where the evaluation period is extended.
As a workaround you can set back the system time.
UPDATE:
It is fixed now when you pull the latest image. Lets hope we don’t run into the same issue again in 178 days (13.05.2023) when the "evaluation period" expires again.
We are looking into this issue and update on the findings by EOD here, the new image needs to get published and it might take couple of days if everything works as expected.
as a workaround until this gets fixed, you can use the image with the tag mongodb , the same features are available
UPDATE:
we have published a new image , try with the latest tag
