SharePoint Online - Create a site out of site template - feature issue

Question

I was trying to archive a site saving it as site template. I wanted to create another site using this site template, here i ran in to the issue,

On further investigation i understand that a hidden feature needs to be activated. Feature id is 3bc0c1e1-b7d5-4e82-afd7-9f7e59b60c0a.I dont have Powershell experience but I tried to activate feature with SharePoint Online Management Shell. I used [Connect-SPOService -Url https://contoso-admin.sharepoint.com -credential admin@contoso.com] command to set up the connection but got an error. I have SharePoint admin rights and not Tenant admin. How can i activate the feature with my permission level?

I tried to deactivate all the features of my old site before saving it as a template and tried to create site of this template. I still run in to the same error.

Please suggest?

Thanks

I guess that you have problem with SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure. The Save site as template command is not supported and can cause problems on sites that use the SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure.
