Additional Information
The clone_items() method works in most cases to clone hosted feature services. There are certain circumstances, most notably with feature layers containing geometries which have large numbers of vertices or a large number of features. In these circumstances, workarounds have to be used to successfully migrate. The feature services can be migrated through exporting, or through the use of duplicating the schema and then appending rows into the layer.Workaround
Generalize the data to decrease the number of vertices in the data and republish the data. Refer to, https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/tool-reference/editing/generalize.htm.
