FindNearest failing even though I can get a credit estimate (Python API, not the REST API)

I am trying to use the FindNearest analysis module (https://developers.arcgis.com/python/api-reference/arcgis.features.analysis.html#find-nearest) to find a line that's closest to each point and get the ID of that line segment. My code is pretty simple:

#import modules from arcgis.gis import GIS import arcgis.features.analysis gis = GIS("home") #get AGOL items as instances of FeatureLayers ##point layer survey_pt = itemId survey_layer=(gis.content.get(survey_pt)).layers[0] ## line layer sidewalks = itemId sdwlk_layer=(gis.content.get(sidewalks)).layers[0] #run FindNearest arcgis.features.analysis.find_nearest(survey_layer, sdwlk_layer, measurement_type='StraightLine', max_count=10, output_name='Nearest_Test')

It returns the following error:

{"messageCode": "AO_100030", "message": "FindNearest failed."}
Failed to execute (FindNearest).
Failed.

I also tried the use_proximity version of FindNearest and got the same error. Is there something obvious I'm doing? When I add `estimate=True` to the parameters, I can get a return number of "47.155" and I definitely have enough credits for that. It seems like since I can get an estimate, I am successfully reaching the server but it doesn't seem to like my parameters when I actually try to run the processing job.

Please advise - any information is appreciated!
