Save Edits Failed in ArcGIS Pro

I have been working on a project in ArcGIS Pro 2.1.2 and as of this morning have been unable to save my edits that I have made to data in a map (in map mode, not layout mode). I am able to make the edits, but when I go to save them I get the following error window:

Save edits failed screen


If I try to make additional edits and save them after I receive this notification, the "Save Edits" button becomes grayed out like so:


Unable to use "Save Edits" button

I have tried to edit several different layers (ensuring that I am only editing one layer at a time), and each time I have received this error. I have also shut down and restarted the program several times and this problem is still occurring. I have even removed the map and added it back in to the project, and the error still occurs each time I try to make edits. This leads me to believe that it is an issue with the project itself, but I am not sure what kind of issue that would be. I have looked around to see if anyone else has had the problem, but have been unable to find any such forum post/Stack Exchange/etc.

The project uses an imported .mxd from ArcGIS 10.3 as the basis for its layout (which was imported when the project was created), and the map I am editing was created from one of the map frames in the layout mode. This is my first project for which I have used ArcGIS Pro (I have previously only used ArcGIS 10.3/10.4), so I apologize if any of my Arc GIS Pro terminology is inaccurate/confusing.

 Any help that anyone could provide would be very much appreciated. I am also more than happy to provide any and all additional information that would be helpful.

Thanks!

Could it potentially be a lock issue? I get the same error, but I tried doing the field attribute updates I needed to do via a field calculate. That did not work but I received the error that it failed because it couldn't acquire a lock. Save edits potentially fails due to lock issues but just doesn't return an error message?

Actually I figured it out, and it's related to that.  With a large dataset and field calculator, if you have 'enable undo' turned on, you get this error.  If you are willing to just field calculate and throw caution to the wind, it may work for you.

Probably not the best way to do this, but I run into this problem when working with large datasets.  When this does happen I save my project and all edits.  Close the program reopen the program and project then I can save.

Thanks. I noticed that closing and reopening Pro 2.9.2 allows edits to be saved again.

When snapping randomly stops working, closing and reopening the app restores the behavior. Unless anyone has a different fix?

I am working in ArcGIS Pro 2.9.2 and find that I am not able to save all edits. Some appear to save fine, but others (one area in particular) do not save and I get this error message:

 I cannot find any information on this - My data is a "Feature Service Feature Class" and I am signed in to my Enterprise Portal. My data source's url is: 

https://gis.sjrwmd.com/hosted/rest/services/Hosted/LULC_2020/FeatureServer

I am not familiar with hosted services, rest services, etc. 

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi All. Has anyone captured Fiddler logs during the time you run into this issue? I'm interested to see if you find any mismatching startEdit -> stopEdit calls. I see the error happens when two startEdit calls are made without a stopEdit call in between them. In Fiddler, ctrl+F 'edit' and select Timeline to inspect the calls.
