Change tracking uses delta queries to let applications discover newly created, updated, or deleted entities without performing a full read of the target resource with every request.
Update to delta link lifetime
Effective today, delta links for identity and access and education resources have a lifetime of seven (7) days instead of the previous lifetime of thirty (30) days.
If you obtained a delta link from a previous delta request and query Microsoft Graph with this delta link more than seven days after the initial query, you will receive a BadRequest response with the error code “syncStateNotFound” and the following error message: “The sync state generation is not found. The delta token is expired and data must be synchronized again.”
To fix that error, simply start a full synchronization again, and update your code to ensure that your application will query Microsoft Graph before the deadline of seven days.
