ArcGIS Online publishing error

barryguidry1 — Thu, 04 Jun 2026 11:56:19 GMT

At times when overwriting a feature layer that contains quite a lot of data records (~50,000 or more), from ArcGIS Pro, the layer publishes successfully, or so it appears, though when viewing the data in ArcGIS Online it often contains no data. Is this a bug, or does ESRI throttle the AGOL bandwidth for certain customers?

No, Esri doesn't throttle bandwidth for anyone.

Check to make sure you don't have the shape field hidden. I've done that when publishing and it results in an empty service.

Hey @barryguidry1

I've personally uploaded feature layers with upwards of 1 million+ records before without much trouble, both from ArcGIS Pro and shapefile. Do you have anyone else in your organization that may be able to view or attempt to upload these to see if it may be a Pro issue? On that note, what version is your ArcGIS Pro?

Hi,

Does the data have a forced transformation in ArcGIS Pro? Maybe double-check that the projections of the basemap and published feature are the same.
