How to repeat similar provider in terraform?

I have to create a server in 30 AWS providers.

i tried copy providers with "count", "alias" and variable block "type=list(string)", but got this message:

The provider argument name "count" is reserved for use by Terraform in a future version.

but it is too hard to type and manage 30 providers in a main.tf.

Here is my main.tf:

terraform {
  required_providers {
    aws={
        source = "Hashicorp/aws"
        version="~> 4.0"
    }
  }
}

provider "aws" {
  count = 6
  region = var.region
  alias = "man01_${count.index}"
  access_key = var.list_ak["${count.index}"]
  secret_key = var.list_sk["${count.index}"]
}

data "aws_instance" "man01_instance" {
  count = 6
  provider = "aws.man01_${count.index}"
  ...
}

I don't have any idea about this...

This is (as of Aug 2022) not possible with pure Terraform. The ability for providers using for_each or count is a long standing request in the Terraform GitHub project (link).
