Overwriting Service problems

Question

ArcGIS 10.2.1
The reason I like to use overwrite is to use the same name layer name, symbology, tags, description, etc and not have to fill out that info each time.

Trying to overwrite an existing service with 2660 features. I've changed the parameter to 3000 records. ArcMap > Share As > Service indicates successful publishing. When I try to open the features in ArcGIS Online, I get an error "Item does not exist or is inaccessible". If I open the layer from MyHostedServices in ArcMap, the layer loads into the TOC, but there are 0 records.

Am I doing something wrong in the overwriting? Is it possible overwriting just doesn't work a lot of the time?

I opened a new ArcMap session, brought in the layer again, created a new service (new tags, new parameters, description etc) and it published all 2660 features successfully.

So, why doesn't this work using "overwrite"?

I am currently experiencing this same problem. I open ArcGIS desktop, login and see my hosted services but I can not drag them into ArcMAP .When I attempt to i get the Error  "Could not add the specified data object to the map.  Unable to return internet proxy for server types other than arcgis server."

What can I do? I note that the previous issues/comments are from 2014...

All good - I logged out and back in and now i can access it

Engaged with Esri on the incident, began performing trouble-shooting tests, and the error evaporated.  So, it's working properly again.

"health-o-meter" is just the AGO Admin account > VIEW SYSTEM HEALTH > ArcGIS Online Health Dashboard grid of services and happy green checkmark status indicators.  Maybe I should initialize it as "AGO HD", or is it "AO HD" since "ArcGIS" is one word?

.....
After about 5.5 hours, the service became available, accessible, etc.  No suggestion of service outage in the AGO health-o-meter.

I'll try mine again, and this time, make sure I wait 5.5 hours to check it.

If you hear back from Esri support with anything relevant, please post back.

BTW, what is the "health-o-meter"?
