Keeping Scale Bar Size Consistent Across Map Series Pages
I am creating a Map Series within ArcGIS Pro 2.9.10. I would like to keep the size of the scale bar consistent across pages. I am fine with the scale values changing as the pages are at different scale, I would just like the scale bar to not resize on each page. Below is an example of how the scale bar resizes from one page to the next:
Page 1:
Page 1 has my ideal scale bar size/placement
And here is Page 2:
On Page 2, the scale bar extends past the extent of the layout which is of course not ideal. For reference, page 1 is at a scale of 1:1000 and page 2 is at a scale of 1:9000. I used the fitting strategy of "Adjust Number of Divisions" for this example. I have also tried "Adjust Division Scale Value" but that fitting strategy had similar results. Any ideas on how to fix this issue? TIA.

That's odd. "Adjust division value" should be exactly what you need:
I just popped open a Map Series document I have with constantly-shifting scales, and my scale bar is solid as a rock across them, even though the numbers are constantly changing.
The only thing I can think is that maybe you changed that setting after the Map Series was generated? Try refreshing your Map Series on the Map Frames tab of the Insert Ribbon:
The result of Adjust Division Value for me is not awful, but the scale bars are not uniform in size from page to page:

Page 5:
I am wondering if there's another setting I need to toggle somewhere or if I'm just missing something.
