Microsoft Graph Sticky Notes API returns 403 ErrorAccessDenied despite ShortNotes.ReadWrite consent

Subject: Microsoft Graph Sticky Notes API returns 403 ErrorAccessDenied despite ShortNotes.ReadWrite consent

I am developing a personal productivity application that integrates Microsoft Sticky Notes through Microsoft Graph using a personal Microsoft account.

The OAuth 2.0 delegated permissions User.Read, Calendars.ReadWrite, and ShortNotes.ReadWrite have been granted successfully.

Test results:

• GET /v1.0/me → HTTP 200

GET /v1.0/me/notes → HTTP 403, ErrorAccessDenied

GET /beta/me/notes → HTTP 403, ErrorAccessDenied

The token endpoint confirms that ShortNotes.ReadWrite is included in the granted scopes.

The Sticky Notes are accessible and editable through Outlook.com, and synchronization with the Windows Sticky Notes application works in both directions.

Could you confirm whether Microsoft Graph Sticky Notes API access is currently restricted or experiencing an issue for personal Microsoft accounts? Is there an officially supported workaround for reading and updating Sticky Notes through Microsoft Graph?Subject: Microsoft Graph Sticky Notes API returns 403 ErrorAccessDenied despite ShortNotes.ReadWrite consent
