How to make sure that a channels.create call followed by a channels.fetch call is consistent?

Right now I have some code that creates a category and then adds some channels to it. What I've noticed is that there is some sort of race condition. Whenever I create a new category with

await guild.channels.create({
    type: ChannelType.GuildCategory,
    name: groupToCreate,
});

await guild.channels.create({
    type: ChannelType.GuildCategory,
    name: groupToCreate,
});

then there is a seemingly random chance that a subsequent

await guild.channels.fetch();

await guild.channels.fetch();

call will not contain the newly created category. How can i make sure that fetch is in a happens-before relationship with create? Note that I also tried:

await guild.channels.fetch(undefined, {
    force: true,
});

await guild.channels.fetch(undefined, {
    force: true,
});

to no avail. 😦

why can't you save the created category in a variable to reuse it?
