Issue with DELTA query on list-items not returning 'deleted' items

I'm using the GET /sites/{siteId}/lists/{listId}/items/delta API in Graph Explorer, following the documentation at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/listitem-delta?view=graph-rest-beta&tabs=http. However, I've noticed that the API isn't returning any records of 'deleted' items, unlike what's shown in the example at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/listitem-delta?view=graph-rest-beta&tabs=javascript#response-2. I was previously able to get 'deleted' items with this API a few days ago. Has something changed?

    Hi @Vikharankar, Vishakha,

    When using delta query Microsoft Graph returns as deleted new/updated/deleted items that are not in start-end date range of the initial request.

    Please check if you have this issue in the case. Here is the document for tracking changes
