Scaling reference layer labels for basemap

Greetings!

Is there a way to scale the labels in the reference layer for basemaps? We have these gorgeous basemaps available in Pro, but in this particular project I'm working on, the labels are so small they're nearly impossible for me to read from in the software. The folks who will be receiving this project definitely won't be able to read anything. I've tried setting the map reference scale but it doesn't change anything. I found a few other posts here on this topic and it looks like there's no solution to this. Correct? Or is there a way?

This seems like a new problem for me. ?? I use basemaps plenty and only with my most recent projects are they so small they're really illegible at all scales. As soon as I zoom in to see the labels, they disappear again.

Thank you!!!

If the basemap reference layer is a vector basemap, you can use the Vector Tile Style Editor to create your own version of the basemap that has larger labels.
