Metered connections are network connections that charge by volume of
data transferred. That happens, for instance, with 4G modems, which I
am using this week.
When one tethers a 4G mobile phone to a laptop, it is possible to
select that the connection is metered, to avoid that Windows uses that
link to download big but not so important data (e.g. updates).
I was unaware that OneDrive deactivates itself in metered connections
even if I ask to synchronize data. When I opened a big file (the ones
that OneDrive typically removes from the computer to save space and
leaves in the cloud) Emacs got a system error that led to the behavior
described before. It also happens with smaller files, I now realize,
provided they were not cached in the computer.
It is possible to disable the "metered connection" status from the
wifi network properties (Windows 10 and Windows 11 settings interface,
not control panel). Then OneDrive spins up again and Emacs is left
waiting until the file is downloaded, with no error message.
