Failed to execute rename

Hi everyone. Error 160506. Failed to execute rename. The data owner of the FD cannot rename feature classes. The data owner has advance license.

Here is the information on naming limits: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/help/data/geodatabases/manage-sql-server/enterprise-geodatabase-limits.htm

The length does not look like an issue.

Is there another ArcGIS client (Desktop / Server / Enterprise / etc.) connected to that table?

Are there any other locks on the table?

It's actually a 31-character limit (buffer is size 32, including the terminating NUL character).
Aliases can go to 64 characters, but the name must still be < 32.

Note that the above was from before 10.8, so it depends on the release level of the
enterprise geodatabase.
