Additional Information
To prevent spending more credits than desired, the environment can be set up to address this concern. This workflow is recommended to use with the settings described in the workaround.Workaround
- With the project open in ArcGIS Pro, go to Project.
- Click Options, and click Geoprocessing.
- Under 'Set options for running geoprocessing tools and scripts', uncheck the 'Allow geoprocessing tools to overwrite existing datasets' check box.
- Click OK to save the setting.
- Run the tool again.
This configuration prevents multiple instances from running the tool and consuming credits, and it returns a prompt to rename the Output Feature Class parameter for each instance of the tool run.
