We have the same problem with Version 1.5.8.1 : The Duplicator starts creating an archive but then gets stuck indefinitely at ‘Creating Archive 0%’ without displaying any errors.
Duplicator Version 1.5.8 worked fine.
We use PHP version 8.0.16. With PHP 7.4.33 Duplicator Version 1.5.8.1 works fine.
I hope this helps with troubleshooting.
Have a nice day!
