Unable to sync your notes because the server is busy. We'll try again later.

Can you try this method as well. Go and open onenote.com(web version) and try to check if you can operate your notebooks there. This will help us finding the fault and if it's working there let me know.

Hi!
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.
This is a fairly common issue with Microsoft OneNote on macOS, especially after recent updates. The error usually doesn’t actually mean the server is busy, it’s often a sync/auth/cache problem.
Do a quick test by clearing the cache on your computer.
Do this test first and let me know what will happen so I can assist you further.
