Restore Unsynced Page of OneNote for Android

I was taking notes on a page in a large notebook(on Android), and after tapping “Sync” several times, I saw the sync icon disappear from the notebook. Then I signed out of my account, and when I signed back in, I found that my new notes were gone—all I could see was the old version.
PLEASE HELP! This page contains all important information and it cost SEVERAL DAYS for me to complete it. I've tried all the methods in https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/onenote/onenote-help-and-learning/find-onenote-notes-pages-or-tabs#Version=Windows and they all failed. I've tried to search this community and I saw negative responses from people. I've tried contacting Microsoft Support but this community is the only place that I can reach...... So I am here and I'd like Microsoft to:
0. Give me a decent way to reach out to your support team and get personal help.

  1. Create a formal support ticket for this issue and provide the ticket number to me, and then keep in touch with me until the issue get resolved.
  2. Help me restore the data that got lost because of your awful UX of OneNote for Android.
  3. If first-line support is unable to resolve the issue, please escalate it to the OneNote Android mobile support team or the OneNote synchronization service engineering team or whatever parties that are able to handle this issue.

    Hi,

    I’m sorry you’ve lost several days of notes. This is a user-to-user community. No one here has access to accounts or is able to create or escalate a Microsoft support ticket.

    If you haven’t already, check OneNote for the web and Android’s Misplaced Sections for another copy. If the changes never synced and the local copy was removed, recovery may not be possible. Avoid clearing app data or reinstalling OneNote while checking.
