IO error on bulk MXD publishing to ArcGIS Server using Python

I've had success using Python on a single MXD, but when I add a loop into the code so that I can do multiple services at once, I run into errors that I'm unable to troubleshoot. I found the code below on ArcGIS Enterprise site and tried to modify it for batch processing. I've tried as a standalone script and from within ArcMap 10.7.1. The error: File "C:\Project\BULK\PublishAGSBulk.py", line 29, in <module>IOError: Operation on file C:\Users\...\Temp\{67337BAB-1DDF-4A39-9FB4-B7C8EF8597B0}\<geoprocessing Map object object at 0x036534A0>.sddraft failed. Unknown error. ‍‍ I am doing this with an active connection to the ArcGIS Server (10.8) in ArcCatalog.

would help the reading of the script and provide line numbers for reference
