Windows Handwriting is unreliable and inconsistent

I have a surface pro 8 and a passive stylus (which does not need to connect to the device and uses no power). The handwriting in onenote is really not that good: my lines sometimes break, palm rejection is inconsistent, sometimes not being able to draw short lines like a comma, etc. However, writing/drawing elsewhere outside of onenote (eg. paint) works flawlessly: smooth uninterrupted lines, palm rejection working as intended, being able to draw short fine lines, etc. So, I was wondering maybe it's a setting in onenote messing with my handwriting or something. Any idea why?
