Paused OneDrive during scrim blocks. Embarrassing how much that fixed.
Summary path: wire if you can, pause cloud sync, prioritize PC MAC, stop phone OS updates mid-plant. I will write a cleaner sticky later if people want.
Want. Sticky-adjacent in Support. This is the boring stuff that keeps people in fights.
