By pushing the limit 100 times the message has changed. Now I get a huge message that I don't think it is worth to paste here, my Jupyter notebook kind of crashes when I scroll down the message.
I have thought that maybe fc1 has overlapping polygons and I have tried to use dissolve_boundaries but I got again a huge message and my Jupyter notebook froze when scrolling down.
I have managed to open the jupyter notebook with a text editor and at the end of the message there is this:

So I am wondering, are there limits on the size of the feature collection.
So I have created a new fc3, which only has 3 features and does intercept with fc2 (see picture). I manage to dissolve fc3, but then the overlay returns an empty feature collection without an error message.
If I run the overlay analysis within arcgis.com I do get the expected result. The southernmost polygon is divided.
I am kind of starting to run out of ideas... Is there any limitation I should be aware of?
Thanks again for any feedback.
