I keep getting an error message whenever I use onenote that says "your system has run out of application memory". It pops up after a couple minutes and has been going on for about a week now. Prior to this it had never happened. this is extremely frustrating because i need to use onenote for medical school. has anybody else had this issue and how do i fix it? i dont know if it has something to do with the new apple update? Plzzzzz help!!

It's hard to give you an exact date because of the staggered way in which we rollout Office Updates, but I can tell you that an improvement had been checked in.. and its a matter of releasing the update that should reach customer before end of year.
Same exact thing happening here as a student in physician assistant (PA) school. I also only have one notebook open at a time and have never had the problem before, but now anytime I open OneNote it immediately slows down my computer drastically and pulls up that pop-up window saying that OneNote is using a ridiculously higher amount of "application memory" than any other app I have open (42 GB compared to like 300 MB). Need a fix fast!
I have been having the same issue recently (no issues before) after starting up my medical school year again. All of my first year classes are on a separate notebook, and there is no issue adding new lecture pdfs to a new MS2 notebook, however, when I try to sync, my system memory jumps to over 15gb as indicated by my activity monitor. This leads to my system crashing and unable to sync.
I have the most up to date One note app and my mac operating system is up to date. Please advise how to resolve this.
Try deleting the macbook app and reinstalling it again. This solution seems to be working for me. Was so frustrated just now when I was having a tutorial and the onenote app was not working at all!
Also having the same problem, also a medical student. 😅 Must be something about the med student life... It's been driving me crazy for a couple weeks now. Tried the recommended fix and it did not help. I deleted OneNote from my computer and am only accessing it through the browser now. It's a lot slower, but at least I am able to upload and sync slide decks.
