Additional Information

To retain a large symbol size at a specific scale and have the point persist at that size at the set scale while adjusting as the user zooms out, a sizeInfo under the visual variable is required. This can be configured in Map Viewer using the Auto Adjust Size option. The setting is stored at the layer item and web map level, not within the service-level renderer information. Based on the notes and review of the ArcGIS Pro project, it appears that ArcGIS Pro applies a sizing fix specific to the scale it's currently using. When the service is loaded independently in Map Viewer, there is no property indicating a fixed size for the scale. This behavior needs to be written into the web map or layer item, as that is where size settings for map scales are stored. Currently, the service itself does not contain any information specifying that the symbol should behave this way. Refer to the following links https://developers.arcgis.com/web-map-specification/objects/sizeInfo_visualVariable/ and https://doc.arcgis.com/en/arcgis-online/create-maps/use-style-options-mv.htm for more information.
