Onenote sync issue error E000283C

Hi,

I am continually having sync issues between my 2 Windows 10 computer and mt ipad using Onenote. This has been working fine until last night. The iPad contains the latest changes to one particular notebook and when I try to sync shows an error message " Onenote can't sync your notes at the moment. We'll keep trying' with a code E000283C. Both Windows 10 apps show that the notebook is saved offline and that the computer doesn't appear connected to the internet. Well they ARE connected to the internet and when I try to access the notebooks online they are very slow to load up but eventually get there.

 I have checked the service status page with no faults showing and my onedrive syncs fine so I am assuming that the Microsoft service is at fault here. I have read elsewhere not to log out of the account if there are changes pending as they will be lost but I need to get this resolved.

Regards

    And then miraculously back to normal on May 19. But another incident like this and I am going back to Evernote!

    Look, I prefer Evernote, but OneNote coms for free, all of my colleagues have it (they all have Microsoft 365 subscriptions, but you can download it separately if required). With Evernote you are immediately into their subscription model if you have a couple of devices and want to collaborate meaningfully.

    So, yes, the OneNote debacle is a debacle, but from my POV it is the only viable tool, ie. free and available over every platform. Even on Linux you can use the web option, no app required.

    But I agree, it's not a bargain if it doesn't work. MS Should get their poo in a pile because this really (over private, commercial and education) is causing intense grief.

    I agree, which is why I switched over. Evernote was also taking too long to to improve its editing and inking capabilities, which meant using side apps to get through the day. All of that can be done within OneNote, which is a plus. When it works.
