Hi @OfraAi,
These are the two options I generally use.
1. No code using a referenced service. The data resides in SDE and registered with Portal through Manager Registered Data Stores. Publish the feature service to portal as a referenced service. Any edits made to the SDE feature classes are automatically applied to the service and vice versa. Add the service to AGOL using a viewer user role for AGOL users to consume (Add item in AGOL via service Portal URL). Again, any edits in Portal/SDE will automatically apply to your AGOL service.
2. Use this script to publish from ArcGIS Pro to AGOL. You add your layers to a Map and the service name will take on the name of your Map. Re-run every time you want to overwrite the hosted service in AGOL.

Edit: For the ArcPy approach, make sure you are signed into AGOL in Pro or use the below.
arcpy.SignInToPortal(portal_url,username,password)
Please le us know if either of these suit.
All the best,
Glen
