graph api update keeps throwing error during a few seconds for an invited guest user after creation despiste working for a get operation.
Our workflow is the following:
1 - invite the user
2 - obtain the user id from the response payload
3 - use the id to do a get user
4 - update some data on the user
And sometimes the update fails with the following error despite the get user working correctly:
Here is a code snippet:

Are you getting this error every time?
I would like to know, have you tried to check in graph explorer, GET - https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/{user-id}, is that working for you?

I'm part of the dev team who's having this issue.
We are POSTing invites and immediately PATCHing the created user adding data to a few fields. Sending 10 invites, for example, the issue doesn't always happen on the same user. Sometimes it happens on the first one sometimes on another one. This issue happens only on PATCH operations, a GET operation on the user right after the invite is created always returns the user object.
Thanks for the update, I am curious to know when you tried Patch operation on graph explore, are you able to see the same behavior. if yes, please let us know and send us the timestamp and request id
We eventually fixed it by delaying the PATCH operations after POSTing the invites.
You can find a request id in one of the screenshots @Simoes, Ruben Raposo shared.
The issue can be reproduced by POSTing an invite and immediately PATCHing the user that was created by the invite.
The issue is intermittent and happens only on one of the tenants we use so it may be a bit hard to reproduce as it may not happen on your tenant.

Joao Almeida, I am facing the same issue when I try to add the phone authentication method for the user immediately after creating the user. How long was the delay you set before performing the patch operation?
This is a good practice to wait for some time while creating and updating, because object creating and object updating takes some time to reflect, so wait for a bit until the first process will successfully completed, we really recommend this to avoid unwanted failure.
Hope this make sense
Thanks
