I get a generic error "Job Failed" when using the below code to try and overwrite a feature layer on ArcGIS Online:
shp_fp = 'E:\folder\shapefile.shp'
feat_id = 'q3p094rupqe9vntowe98w98eyt0w'
item = gis.content.get(feat_id)
fs = item.layers[0]
fs.manager.overwrite(shp_fp)
I have editing privileges for the feature service. The service can be updated via ArcGIS Pro using "sharing" - "overwrite web layer" but programmatically it throws an error.

This error message is generally received when you attempt to overwrite a service that has had its name changed in ArcGIS Online after publishing. For example, if I publish a service with the name 'A', change the name to 'B', and attempt to overwrite the service using a zipped file geodatabase/shp called 'C', the overwrite will fail.
Try this:
The overwrite will succeed if either the data being used to overwrite (eg a file geodatabase) or the service in ArcGIS Online has the same name as the original service. For example, If we publish a service with the name 'A', change the name to 'B', and attempt to overwrite the service using a zipped file geodatabase/shp called 'A', the overwrite will succeed.
You can find the original name of the service by navigating to the REST endpoint of the service in question.
