Call wordpress admin-ajax.php return Bad Request 400

I know it is being asked a lot. I have followed all solutions but still got the error. What I want is to call PHP function via ajax from admin page on the form submission. This is my code

function myFunction()
    {
        echo "DONE";
        wp_die();
    }

add_action('wp_ajax_my_function', 'myFunction); 
add_action('wp_ajax_nopriv_my_function', 'myFunction');//i know I don't need this line because I just want to call from admin page 

wp_register_script("my_fast_generate_script", my_dir_url . 'assets/js/ajax-my-fast-generate.js', array('jquery'));
wp_localize_script('my_fast_generate_script', 'my_fast_generate_Ajax', array('ajaxurl' => admin_url('admin-ajax.php'))); 
wp_enqueue_script('my_fast_generate_script');

ajax-my-fast-generate.js

jQuery(function ($) {
    $(document).ready(function () {

        // id dari button ketika diklik
        $('#fast_generate').on('click', function (e) {
            e.preventDefault();
            
            console.log("success called until here");

            $.ajax({
                type: 'POST',
                url: my_fast_generate_Ajax.ajaxurl, //diregister di index
                dataType: 'json',
                data: {
                    action: 'myFunction',
                },
                success: function (response) {
                    console.log("never executed here");
                },
                error: function (errorThrown) {
                    console.log(errorThrown);
                },
            });
        });
    })
});

As additional info, I used nginx for my web service. I have changed file permissions on the whole WordPress folder to 777, and added .htaccess to my WordPress root directory and the error still occurs.

    You have set the dataType to json which is the data type expected of the server response. but your function just echos "DONE" and not json data, so remove the dataType. You can also remove the type.

    $.ajax({
  url: my_fast_generate_Ajax.ajaxurl,
  data: {
    action: 'my_function',
  },
  success: function(response) {
    console.log("This is the response: "+response);
  },
  error: function(errorThrown) {
    console.log(errorThrown);
  },
});

    Actually i think the mistake is in your Javascript. What WordPress expect as the "action" parameter is what stands after the "wp_ajax_" or "wp_ajax_nopriv_", so in your example it should be:

    "wp_ajax_my_function", instead in your js you are using "myFunction" which is actually the function name but wordpress doesn’t care about that, it looks into the action name, not the callback which is being used by the action.

    So the final JS code should be:

    jQuery(function ($) {
    $(document).ready(function () {

        // id dari button ketika diklik
        $('#fast_generate').on('click', function (e) {
            e.preventDefault();
            
            console.log("success called until here");

            $.ajax({
                type: 'POST',
                url: my_fast_generate_Ajax.ajaxurl, //diregister di index
                dataType: 'json',
                data: {
                    action: 'my_function', <---- edited this
                },
                success: function (response) {
                    console.log("never executed here");
                },
                error: function (errorThrown) {
                    console.log(errorThrown);
                },
            });
        });
    })
});
