Hello and welcome to the forum.  
Please remember when you’re posting any kind of code to use the Preformatted Text option to properly format your code:  
[Guide to Posting Code](https://forums.powershell.org/t/guide-to-posting-code/14928)

Just for clarification, you’re running the line as you shared correct? Suppressing errors? Are there any errors that occur when the output file results in a 0-byte file?  
I see running a loop against all my team members that while it successfully downloads the photo for each one (over multiple attempts) it generates an error each time

```auto
Get-MgUserPhotoContent_Get:
Line |
   3 | Get-MgUserPhotoContent -UserId $user -OutFile $file
     | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
     | Cannot set percent because PercentComplete cannot be greater than 100. (Parameter 'value')
Actual value was 2147483647.

```

Regardless this doesn’t seem to create an issue.

Can you share some more details about **when** this fails on your end?
