Don't generate interrupts at this rate, you'll saturate the processor. The TIM provides ways to toggle or pulse pins into the 10's MHz

the reason why I'm doing this because I want to generate pulses with a full control over their freq, duty and phase. the PWM can fix two of them but I could not find a satisfactory method to control the phase (in relation to another PWM signal)

Use master-slave arrangement of timers to control phase.

There are also the combined outputs in the newer STM32's timers, e.g. in L4.

If you are desperate, 1MHz interrupt toggling a pin in a 'F4 might be viable, but only if you very well know what are you doing - and using Cube does not really indicate that.

The interrupt service routine takes too long to execute, that's what limits the 'maximum frequency' here.

This question is reocurring here quite often, e.g.
