This bag superficially resembles a bag of holding but is a feeding orifice for a gigantic extradimensional creature. Turning the bag inside out closes the orifice.
The extradimensional creature attached to the bag can sense whatever is placed inside the bag. Animal or vegetable matter placed wholly in the bag is devoured and lost forever. When part of a living creature is placed in the bag, as happens when someone reaches inside it, there is a 50 percent chance that the creature is pulled inside the bag. A creature inside the bag can use its action to try to escape with a successful DC 15 Strength check. Another creature can use its action to reach into the bag to pull a creature out, doing so with a successful DC 20 Strength check (provided it isn't pulled inside the bag first). Any creature that starts its turn inside the bag is devoured, its body destroyed.
Inanimate objects can be stored in the bag, which can hold a cubic foot of such material. However, once each day, the bag swallows any objects inside it and spits them out into another plane of existence. The GM determines the time and plane.
If the bag is pierced or torn, it is destroyed, and anything contained within it is transported to a random location on the Astral Plane.

It says that it resembles a Bag of Holding, so if you are a DM, you could say something like "You found what looks like a Bag of Holding" and when they discover what it truly is, they will be devastated because they put all their stuff in it. (I think I would be too evil to be DM...)
I want to make a Warlock with a Bag of Devouring as his patron. :)
Disposing corpses. Use it as an improvised weapon. If there is a small item you don't trust on your plane then you can space it onto a random one.
The most messed up thing about this Magic Item is that its Intentionally designed to look like a Bag of Holding!
How much does it weigh!?
Campaign idea.
A village sends the party n search of a lost bag of devouring,.
The party finds the bag and is requested to bring it to Dodrotir Woodbucket, the local garbage man. The garbage man uses the bag of devouring and slides it a the end of a funnel that receives the towns trash and water waste.
The town uses the bag as a waste disposal and profit from it by accepting the other village waste for a fee.
The party decided ow ethical it is to do so.
Or the DM can give it to the players and watch the chaos unfold, especially when the dumbest character immediately reaches inside.
no you arn't thinking big enough. if a big monster throws a punch at you, you can shove their hand in it and the bag of devouring monster will eat off the hand
edit: i thought of this idea long ago but now that i've read the description of the bag of devouring it would be more like "a big monster throws a punch at you, you shove their hand in the bag of devouring and watch as they get sucked into the bag leaving nothing behind"
little fact if you have pact of the great old one you can make the bag of holding monster be your patron(i don't know why but i keep on thinking the bag of devouring monster is really dumb)
it's a mouth to a cosmic monster
i do what i ******* want
10/10 best joke i've ever read, best comment
