I have a project that uses Microsoft Graph delta API to detect changes in OneDrive and SharePoint.

When a user creates a new document directly from Excel, Word, or PowerPoint (desktop application), my app can detect the change correctly via delta.

However, when I try to update the file content I get a 423 error, even after waiting more than 30 minutes after document is closed from mobile applications:

{
  "error": {
    "code": "notAllowed",
    "message": "The resource you are attempting to access is locked",
    "innerError": {
      "code": "resourceLocked",
      "date": "2025-09-09T14:41:17",
      "request-id": "ee2fe118-f693-43df-b5f4-b1024569327c",
      "client-request-id": "ee2fe118-f693-43df-b5f4-b1024569327c"
    }
  }
}

I am calling v1.0/sites/{siteId}/drives/{driveId}/items/{itemId}/content

I get notAllowed error only after document is created.

If User open the document second time with mobile applications, I can succesfully update the document.

Document should be updated when it created first time because it is not opened in any other users or machines. Why do I get this error and is there anyway to solve it?
