Additional Information

This was an intentional change from provided user feedback in ArcGIS Pro 3.3. Since the option is Degrees Minutes Seconds (<+|-> DDD° MM' SSS.ss") notice the SSS.ss part shows two decimal places, it is desired for users to get back only two decimals to be consistent with the option. If the user requires more decimal places, use a Calculate Field expression like: !Shape!.toCoordString("DMS") Refer to this documentation: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/arcpy/classes/pointgeometry.htm#:~:text=The%20resulting%20geometry.-,toCoordString,-(notation) for more information.

Workaround

The issue is specific to ArcGIS Pro 3.3.1. Use previous versions of ArcGIS Pro to solve the issue.
