Getting ERROR 999999 when trying to use arcpy.UploadServiceDefinition_server()?

Question

Here is my code

def upload(name, client, working_dir):
  arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True
  arcpy.SignInToPortal('https://www.arcgis.com', username, password)
  outdir = working_dir + "\\PROJECTS\\" + name + "\\sd\\"
  aprx = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject(working_dir + "\\PROJECTS\\data_holder\\data_holder.aprx")
  m = aprx.listMaps()[0]
  print("Uploading data for " + name)
  lyrs = m.listLayers()
  arcpy.mp.CreateWebLayerSDDraft(lyrs, outdir + name + ".sddraft", name, "MY_HOSTED_SERVICES", "FEATURE_ACCESS", name, True, True, False, False, False, name, name, name, None, None )
  arcpy.StageService_server(outdir + name + ".sddraft", outdir + name + ".sd", 102)
  arcpy.UploadServiceDefinition_server(outdir + name + ".sd", 'My Hosted Services')

This is the error I am getting. I have tried multiple different ways to put in parameters.

Uploading data for test_project

The issue was that I was trying to upload an xy event layer. I changed my code to upload from a gdb.
