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.
Welcome to the Club :(((( .. Officially had to switch to Notability in order to function throughout my graduate program and not deal with this anymore. After creating an entirely new user the problem persisted once again.
Overall, there are a lot of things I miss about OneNote.. and Thank goodness there is the onlie version where I can still access my previous notes ( at a very.. very.. slow loading rate).
Maybe this is Microsoft's way of forcing you to buy a Microsoft computer if you want to use their services. Not sure. Very frustrating.
Microsoft needs to fix this. Antitrust laws prevent them from forcing us to buy only their hardware or software.
Will watch this thread, but someone might actually organize a class-action suit over it.
We (large data upload) users are probably the tip of a very large iceberg.
I would gladly pay real money to MIcrosoft to have this problem go away - students may not. But the larger community would. I think it may be a "slow freemium" play.. see how many folks get addicted, then find the limits, then have them pay to remove them.
Again, stay posted. Some lawyers may be sharpening their pencils.

Yep, seems fine now.
One should never have to "uninstall and reinstall" properly designed software.
Further to my comment that on my current M2 Mac Studio I saw OneNote bloat to 110GB (amazing!), today I went over to my Windows 10 laptop (Surface Book Pro 3). It works TOTALLY fine there. No problems at all, same exact notebooks open, and on my PC taking up <200 MB of RAM.
It is totally a problem with the mac version of OneNote and another example that our small market share (on order 10%) does not get enough attention - this memory leak is a HUGE problem.
