Workaround

Use the Auto Commit Environment setting. Refer to: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/tool-reference/environment-settings/auto-commit.htm.

If the setting is added and indicates the value to the number of records in the feature class, the Python script runs successfully. Add the following line below arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True in the script:

arcpy.env.autoCommit = 1001
