Hello Nilesh Karotra,

Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Support!

As for your problem, we conducted a test and found the same error. As far as I know, the endpoint ran well before, which may be due to the temporary strike caused by the update of Graph API. Please wait for some time and try again, the problem will recover by itself.

Or you can open a support ticket with Microsoft Support to get help from the API owner.

Hope this helps.
