'DiscordAPIError Invalid Form Body' when creating channel

Hello there. Basically, I am trying to create a text channel using the following code:

    let newChannel = await interaction.guild.channels.create({
        parent: admissionsTicketsCategoryId,
        name: `admissions-from-${interaction.user.username.toLowerCase()}`,
        type: "GUILD_TEXT",
        permissionsOverwrites: [
            {
                id: interaction.user.id,
                allow: [
                    "VIEW_CHANNEL",
                    "SEND_MESSAGES",
                    "EMBED_LINKS",
                    "ATTACH_FILES",
                    "READ_MESSAGE_HISTORY"
                ]
            }
        ],
        reason: `${interaction.user.tag} created a ticket`
    })

    let newChannel = await interaction.guild.channels.create({
        parent: admissionsTicketsCategoryId,
        name: `admissions-from-${interaction.user.username.toLowerCase()}`,
        type: "GUILD_TEXT",
        permissionsOverwrites: [
            {
                id: interaction.user.id,
                allow: [
                    "VIEW_CHANNEL",
                    "SEND_MESSAGES",
                    "EMBED_LINKS",
                    "ATTACH_FILES",
                    "READ_MESSAGE_HISTORY"
                ]
            }
        ],
        reason: `${interaction.user.tag} created a ticket`
    })

But whenever the code runs, I get the following error:

DiscordAPIError: Invalid Form Body

Not really sure why. If someone could help me, that would be awesome. Thank you for your time and help, I greatly appreciate it.

name should be as a string but you put it in the options object , https://discord.js.org/#/docs/discord.js/stable/class/GuildChannelManager?scrollTo=create , look at the exemples
