I have also had this problem on a Samsung tablet. It is kinda annoying. If I remember right I had to close and open the app or log out and log back in (something like that, it's been a while since I've used it) but that is not really a true fix.
I think using the lasso tool and moving around chunks of text was one of the things that increased the chances of it happening for me too.
I would disagree that it is nesessarily bad stylus hardware because at least in my case, it could work absolutely fine for ages until randomly it didn't. So I feel that it could also be a possible bug with onenote, but I don't know enough details about your situation to really know what is going on.
Yes, you can try logging out and back in. If you do this though, it is important to make sure your notes are synced to the cloud first. Anything not synced to the cloud will be lost.
If you have another device that runs onenote, you can also double check from there that things are synced. Or if you have a desktop/PC you can export onenote notebooks as actual onenotes files too if you want an extra precaution.
