Ok, I swapped $my_post for $post as advised and now the content is copied over but in 2-3 instances. It’s like if the loop happens multiple times before settling.

The code looks like this now:

<?php
global $post;
$args = array( 
	'post_type' => 'post', 
	'posts_per_page' => -1,
	'post_status' => 'any'
);

$myposts = get_posts( $args );
foreach ( $myposts as $post ) : setup_postdata( $post );

	$custom_field_raw = get_the_content().get_field('chapter_1');
	$custom_field_text_only = wp_strip_all_tags($custom_field_raw);

	$post = array(
		'ID'           => get_the_ID(),
		'post_content' => $custom_field_raw
	);

	wp_update_post( $post );

endforeach; 
wp_reset_postdata();

Ideally I’d need to move all chapters at once and make sure the loop doesn’t create multiple instances of every field. Could you help, please?

THANK YOU!
