Just got this as part of my support case, looks like it should be OK now.

There was service degradation: OP283538

More info: Impact was specific to all versions of Microsoft OneNote excluding OneNote 2016 and web client. Windows 10 desktop client, iOS and Android mobile app versions were all impacted.

Final status: We've confirmed that a recent deployment intended to provide optimizations for service stability inadvertently introduced a regression in service logic, resulting in impact. We've reverted the affecting change and confirmed that impact is mitigated.

Start time: Wednesday, September 1, 2021, at 5:30 PM UTC

End time: Tuesday, September 7, 2021, at 7:00 PM UTC

Root cause: A recent deployment intended to provide optimizations for service stability inadvertently introduced a regression in service logic, resulting in impact.

The service is restored now.

    My Windows version OneNote is working fine,

    But I have the same issue (E000006B blg57) with my Apple Devices (iPhone/iPad), it keeps loading for a very long time when I open a notebook from OneNote. Then it showed an error message "E000006B blg57".

    I tried many ways that the Microsoft website has mentioned (reinstall, re-login, change another wifi/network, open a new notebook to replace the old one, etc.), but sadly it still didn't work.

    There were several times that my OneNote success to sync for around 10 sec, but then it showed an error message again.

    I hope that Microsoft staff could fix this problem asap.

    This might not be such a great workaround but it has allowed me to carry on using the App.

    When the sync error comes up on Mac (the !), I right click it to see the error message, then if you keep pressing sync next to the message after about twenty hits it loads and updates.

    Not great but works on iPad too…

    Sorry I haven’t found a solution; I too have reported to Microsoft
