is there a way to archive older notebooks

[der2014 1]

I've got to think that some of the sluggishness I have experienced with Evernote can be relieved by moving some of my older notebooks to some type of archive. I don't want to delete them but there really isn't a need to access them.

You could export each as an enex file or, for that matter, as HTML. Then delete the notebook from Evernote. You still have it restore in the event that you need it.

As a matter of interest,  device/ os/ en version/ number of notes?

I use a MacBook Pro with macOS Monterey (12.2) and an iPhone 11 Pro with iOS 15.3

If they are closed projects that will not get fresh stuff, you could think about a second account for archiving only. You open and keep it as free, but for doing the upload you buy a month of Personal. Export anything from your main account as ENEX files, and import it into the archive account. The downside: While on free, the attachments will not be easily searchable, if you relied on EN doing the OCR.

In general I don’t think the number of notes cause any „sluggishness“, but I could be wrong.

Maybe you report back here on your experience.

I like the idea of having a separate account with archived notes. I will establish this and report back

In my humble opinion, the solution is not user-friendly.

In my humble opinion you can search for a better solution.

Beside this, EN currently only limits the upload, not the storage. If it would be (mis-)used to archive large quantities of data, this might become unsustainable.

The consequences would be bad for most users.

Is there a better method to archive large stacks?

Do all the attachments get embedded in a .enex file?

Better than what?  It's not possible to archive a Stack,  but you can export the notebooks contained in one stack to ENEX files with suitable names like "ProjectOne-NotebookOne",  "ProjectOne-NotebookTwo" etc - or just have a zzz-Archive stack and add notebooks to that so they're easily excluded from searches.
