use a true regex for a special url not working in htaccess

I have this url:

https://www.example.com/product/abcde595-556/?customize_changeset_uuid=b7fa6e4c-aa67-49c3-a08a-893c57d81b18&customize_autosaved=on

and I want redirect above url to :

https://www.example.com/product/abcde595-556/

I write this regex that worked in regex testing tools but not working in htaccess:

^(.*)\?

My htaccess code is this:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)\? $1 [R=301,L]

please help me and tell why not working that's regex

The query string is usually NOT part of the URL that the Rewrite Engine matches, so your RewriteRule tries to match something that is not there.

I think you are searching for the option QSD with redirects, that removes the query string:

# Turn ReriteEngine On
RewriteEngine On

# Only apply rewrite if query string is set
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} .

# do the rewrite
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1 [R=301,QSD,L]

(htaccess is untested)
