Contact already exists

[0x66656c6978]

The following code should never fail because a contact already exists in the second call, should it?

      const existingContactRecord = await hubspotClient.crm.contacts.searchApi.doSearch({
        properties: ['email'],
        filterGroups: [
          {
            filters: [
              {
                propertyName: 'email',
                operator: FilterOperatorEnum.Eq,
                value: fixEmail(organisation.email)
              }
            ]
          }
        ],
        sorts: ['-createdate'],
        limit: 1,
        after: '0'
      });
      if (existingContactRecord.total === 0) {
        logger.info(`Contact does not exist in HubSpot.`);
        const contactRecord = await hubspotClient.crm.contacts.basicApi.create({
          properties: {
            email: fixEmail(organisation.email)
          },
          associations: []
        });
      }

We're getting the following error
