    unfortunately, lots has changed since 2016 and the instructions from that article don't match the current OneNote menus. As best as I can tell, I would have exceeded that 5000 limit years ago. and why should there be a limit at all?

    Hi @DG ,
    What is MSFT browser?
    Did the clipped file store in OneDrive?
    I suggest you try to provide the whole error message about >>onedrive has exceeded limit<<.
    Please be a bit more precise to explain your problem or you can upload a screenshot so that I can get more accurate solutions to this problem. I’m glad to help and follow up your reply.

    Hi. i am using the Edge browser.
    when clipping it brings up "default location" (for notebook)
    when i click on that to change notebook, it gets stuck a bit on "loading notebooks"
    then the error message that appears is literally:
    we couldn't load your notebooks because a limit was exceeded in OneDrive
