The one thing I HATE about OnShape.
Not being able to use it when my internet connection is down for at least 2 weeks. I despise phone companies and there service. Grrrr… Not really something to hate but it's frustrating that the ISP doesn't see the importance of an internet connection like they do land lines…smh.

You're using the wrong ISP, then.
I have been using a node locked locally installed CAD for years, if not decades. Guess what happened, when the network failed one day!
"Cannot refresh the license lease. Contact your system administrator! Launch in read only mode?"
Seems I wasn't much better off , then … ;0)
That is a fair complaint, but to be fair, it isn't really something you hate about Onshape. It's something you hate about your ISP, right? It's like saying you hate your car because of potholes 😉.
To be fair, there are technical solutions to both - offline capability for on-shape. Better tyres and suspension for the car.
And also redundant internet connection if it's worth it same as taking another route.
I do hate potholes too. 😂 But your right technically not a Complaint toward onshape....but I guess it could be depending on your point of view. My ISP is the only choice we have so I can't be using the wrong one. Ha.. Starlink night be possible. Haven't checked into that in a while. Redundant connection makes sense in theory. But doesn't make sense until my life depends on it. Might not even resolve the issue I'm having tbh since it would just be a second line from the same stupid company.

Looks like I can hotspot off my wife's mobile plan as a temp measure for a nice add on fee. Learning way more about mobile data than I want to.
I've run Onshape perfectly fine using my phone as an internet hotspot.
