Description

**Describe the bug**
I have an ArcGIS Online Hosted Feature Layer, its size is 255 MB, it has attachments with size: 12.53 GB. It's failing to clone (clone_items) due to time out after about 15-20 minutes.

Smaller Feature Layers clone without issues.

Is there a limit to the size of the items we can clone? If there is, is there a way to work around this?

**To Reproduce**
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
```python
from arcgis.gis import GIS

gis = GIS("https://arcgis.com", "username", "password", expiration=9999)
layer = gis.content.get("featureserviceid")
gis.content.clone_items([layer], "Test Folder")
```
error:
```python
Your request has timed out. : (Error Code: 504)', )
File "C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\bin\Python\envs\arcgispro-py3\Lib\site-packages\arcgis\_impl\common\_clone.py", line 4270, in clone
raise _ItemCreateException(
arcgis._impl.common._clone._ItemCreateException: ('Failed to create Feature Service service_name: Your request has timed out. (Error Code: 504)', )
```

**Platform:**
- OS: Windows 11
- Browser Edge
- Python API Version 2.4.0
