Hi, I have a request to update a hosted feature layer item definition with the ArcGIS API for Python. This has worked for a long time with no issues, but just started intermittently failing. The code looks like this:
gis = arcgis.GIS(profile="<profile_name>")
item = gis.get_item_by_id("<item_id>")
collection = FeatureLayerCollection.fromitem(item)
overwrite_result = collection.manager.overwrite(zipfile_path)
update_dict = {"capabilities": "Query", "syncEnabled": True}
collection.manager.update_definition(update_dict)
The last line intermittently fails. I get a python Exception with this message (on two lines, as shown):
Exception: Your request has timed out.
(Error Code: 504)
Like I said, this has worked for a long time, and just started recently. I have 10 hosted feature layers with identical schemas, but the error only happens on some of them, so it's not just a syntax error. What's really weird is that if I skip the overwrite command (line 4, above), I cannot replicate this Exception. I wonder if the hosted feature layer is occasionally getting locked by the overwrite.
Note - I did see this related issue , but all my hosted feature layers are the same, so it doesn't make sense that some would fail while others succeed.
