if you're using a thick, plastic or jelly cord it's not going to knot well, at least not in my experience. If you like plastic cord, try getting something in a smaller mm size, I use anywhere between 4mm-7mm, anything thicker hasn't knotted well in my experience.

I would try adding a dab of glue to the knot when you tie it, super glue would do the trick, but be careful and let it dry completely !

If you're able to invest in a different type of string, I recommend fabric covered stretch cord, you can find it in almost every craft store in the kid's bead section. I got two massive rolls in black and white at Joanns

Thick string never works lol, personally i use cloth coverd elastic cord that like never breaks and never unties, but for elastic plastic type string put a dab of super glue on the knot

the clear stretchy string is cr@ppy af

Maybe try a different brand

for me it's easier to tie cloth-covered elastic and it doeznt break as much as clear elastic 4 me. i like to glue the knotz too it just makez me feel better lawlz

it could be the string brand! check to see if you could find the brand, and read reviews on it, sometimes the brand just sucks at making string. - c!tubbo (He/Bee/Nuke/Hazard)
