I can create a notebook named Test#% from the Onedrive web, but when I try to do the same with API or SDK I see the calls failing.

Is this a known issue?

Are there any workarounds for this?

    Hello @Vinanth S Bharadwa ,

    As per documentation, In the request body, supply a name for the notebook.

    Notebook names must be unique. The name cannot contain more than 128 characters or contain the following characters: ?*/:<>|'"

    Hope this helps.
