Additional Information

The SQL option allows for faster performance. Currently, the Python, Arcade, and VB Script options on Calculate Field require the data to be queried into ArcGIS Pro first in order to perform the calculation. This querying takes a lot of time to execute. Without using the undo option, each row is written to the service one at a time, which is slow due to the number of requests. When using the undo option, ArcGIS Pro is able to write all the updates at once, which performs faster.

Workaround

Enable sync on the data, download the data to calculate, perform the calculation locally, and then sync. Use the SQL option in the calculate field tool if the workflow permits.
