How large can an apple note be?

I am having issues now with one particular Note. I use it to track a church music list for each week (3 a week). I am approaching a year (two months away) of writing the weekly lists on the same note file and it now freezes and has long delays with response as I write or scroll through the Note file.

If I start another brand new Note file there isn’t any issues, fyi.

I tried to search to see if there was Note “file limit size” but I was unable to find anything.

iPad Pro, iPadOS 15

Obviously, you found a note file size/length limit.

FYI,

The free, basic iOS/iPadOS Notes apps is a barebones note taking app that ONLY gets updates once a year, from Apple, when a new mobile OS gets released.

The Aople iOS Notes app is more of a preview, “showcase” notes app that acts an example for what third party notes app developers can do with their own notes apps.

The basic iOS Notes app is, alao, NOTORIOUS for all sorts of issues, not excluding data loss/notes loss issues.

I would encourage you to seek out other free, AND PAID, third party notes apps, from the iOS App Store, that have been around for, at least, 5 years, or more, that are a little more robust and get many more regular app updates from the these notes apps developers.

There are plenty of third party notes apps to choose from that are, potentially, better than the free Notes app offering from Apple.

Best of Luck to You!
