Microsoft Graph returns "Internal Server Error" on request? - microsoft-graph-api

Question

I am trying to get my Microsoft Teams assignments through Microsoft Graph. I submit this GET request https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/education/me/classes/{id}/assignments as shown in the docs, with my authentication token as a header. However, below is the reply I get. I am doing this with python, however I have also tried from Graph Explorer which yields the same result.
{
"error": {
"code": "InternalServerError",
"message": "Object reference not set to an instance of an object.",
"innerError": {
"date": "2020-09-07T16:44:48",
"request-id": "011086a0-9240-4896-9363-d403a1a0fb05"
}
}
}
Does anybody have any insight? Is this a problem with Microsoft?

You need to remove the /me. The correct URI is https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/education/classes/{id}/assignments.
