'New-TeamChannel cannot create many channels

I'm trying to create a set of test data for Teams, where I need a large amount of Teams and channels.

I have been roughly following this guide, but without the XML document. Instead, I have for loops to create a large amount of teams/channels. The script mostly works, but I have run into two issues.

Firstly, I am receiving an error when adding over ~60 channels to a team. However, the error that I am being given is very vague and I'm not sure if this is a bug with the Teams PowerShell module. This is the code I have for creating the channels:

for ($j = 0; $j -lt $channelCount; $j++) {
    try {
        New-TeamChannel -GroupId $groupId -DisplayName "Test Channel $($j)" | Out-Null
        Write-Host "Successfully created channel: Test Channel $($j)"
    }
    catch {
        Write-Host "Could not add channel"
        $e = $_.Exception
        $msg = $e.Message
        while ($e.InnerException) {
          $e = $e.InnerException
          $msg += "`n" + $e.Message
        }
        Write-Host -Foreground Red $msg
    }
}

I got the error handling code from here, and the error is not very helpful:

Could not add channel
One or more errors occurred.
Cannot access a disposed object.
Object name: 'System.Net.Http.StringContent'.

Is there anything that I'm doing wrong here?

The other issue I've got is that the whole process is very slow. I'm not too experienced in using Powershell, but is there a better way to speed it up? I'm not sure if I could run some of the code in parallel, but I don't know what the Graph API limits would be, but happy to try it if anyone could give me some pointers.
