I'm using the latest version if Windows 11, and for a long time I've
had One Note running under it. I've also had One Note running on my
Pixel 4A, where it always synched to my desktop computer.
It's no longer synching. The Android now has about a 4 day old version
of notes that have had several recent changes.
I don't know why, but I just got a laptop computer running Windows 11,
where I installed One Note and it synchs to the desktop properly.
Can someone tell me what might be wrong and how to fix it?

The table here states it was released on 18th December:

Nope, it doesn't.
The "December 18, 2024" date is followed by a *note* '[29]', which is
- as always in Wikipedia - also a link.
If you follow that link, you will get the 'Release notes' which cleary says "Developer Preview 2", so exactly as Andy said "16 is still in development" and proven by his (above quouted) quote from the Wikipedia page.
'Release notes' <https://developer.android.com/about/versions/16/release-notes>
Then the table is wrong. I was simply doing a quick internet search to help the OP.
Of course all of this should have been blatantly obvious, as Android
*15* was only released little over 3 months earlier. New Android
versions come (too) quickly, but not *that* quickly.
I don't use android, so not up to speed, hence why I thought wikipedia was accurate.

And why do you think Android 15 is labelled "Latest Version" and
coloured green exactly in this table?
It isn't on my phone?
I have it *sort of* fixed. When I start OneNote on my phone, I click
on "New Section 1." I then choose ToDo, which is the most important
note on OneNote for me. I then get it correctly synched, but with the
comment at the top saying "PAGE CONFLICTS DETECTED."
The other notes I have on OneNote on Android are still not correctly
synched.
The same is true on my laptop and the web OneNote. ToDo is synched;
the other notes are not.
If this helps anyone to tell me what to do fix everything that would
be great, but if not, I can live with it like this, at least for a
while.

Can you check the web version (onenote.com) and see if it's a sync problem

Yes,

Repeat for Windows and Android switched around.
Don't see the change in either the web version or the Windows program.

Tried that too. The Windows program doesn't pick it up, and Android

Does anything happen if you actively tell it to sync?
No.

Is one possibility to fix it that I should uninstall OneNote on my

Huh? Then why do you subscribe to this group and say (to J÷rg) "It

That you overlooked the note, etc. is of course perfectly allright.
Being flippant when people correct you, not so much.
How am I being flippant? I acknowledged the mistake.

Sigh! You said (amongst others) "Then the table is wrong.", so you did *not* acknowledge *your* mistake, but said that it was an error in the Wikipedia page, which it isn't.
Bottom line: You were wrong. The Wikipedia page is correct.
I admit I made a mistake. In my defence, as I showed to Joerge, the
wikipedia app doesn't render tables very well in dark mode.
Given the OP is on android 13 he still could do with upgrading.
