Cannot call this API, Access is restricted to Payg enabled apps only error when using sensitive label api for one drive

Question

Hi,

I'm using the graph apply sensitive label api to add sensitivity label to one drive file using below api

POST https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/drives/{$driveId}/items/{$itemId}/assignSensitivityLabel

--body 'sensitivityLabelId' => $labelId

I getting below error when i call this api

{"error":{"code":"accessDenied","message":"Cannot call this API, Access is restricted to Payg enabled apps only.","innerError":{"date":"2023-03-20T10:06:03","request-id":"607c194b-20a7-4b34-b432-7d2a75064f66","client-request-id":"607c194b-20a7-4b34-b432-7d2a75064f66"}}}

though the get request with following api works fine

Get https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/security/informationProtection/sensitivityLabels

getting success response with available labels from this endpoint.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
