When Uploading Multiple Images from Media and it is only creating one media but all the files are uploading under the files

Steps to reproduce

2. Go to Image media type and change the field settings to Unlimited
"/admin/structure/media/manage/image/fields/media.image.field_media_image/storage" change the Allowed number of values to
Unlimited and Save it.
3. Now go to Media "/media/add/image" and now you can have option to upload multiple Images and Please upload more than 1 Image and save it
4. Now go to Media and see only one media is added but files are uploaded all the Image files under "/admin/content/files"

Proposed resolution

I believe you'll need a contrib module to achieve this functionality:

That is the expected behavior.

Version: 10.1.x-dev » 11.x-dev

Drupal core is moving towards using a “main” branch. As an interim step, a new 11.x branch has been opened, as Drupal.org infrastructure cannot currently fully support a branch named main. New developments and disruptive changes should now be targeted for the 11.x branch. For more information, see the Drupal core minor version schedule and the Allowed changes during the Drupal core release cycle.

As explained, this is the intentional behaviour. Bulk media creation is not supported in core but there are several contrib modules linked above.
