This command fails. What am I doing wrong?

LicenceUser = Set-MgUserLicense -UserId $userid -Addlicenses @{SkuId = ($license.SkuId)} -RemoveLicenses @() -ErrorAction:Stop;

This part is fine:

-Addlicenses @{SkuId = ($license.SkuId)}

So is this:

-RemoveLicenses @()

This is the error message:

Set-MgUserLicense : One or more parameters of the operation 'assignLicense' are missing from the request payload. The missing parameters are: removeLicenses.

According to the documentation the call you're making looks correct, however these documentations for Graph Module are usually wrong, a correct API call to assignLicense would be:

# Requires Scopes, one of:
#    LicenseAssignment.ReadWrite.All
#    Directory.ReadWrite.All
#    User.ReadWrite.All

$userId = 'xxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-....'

Invoke-MgGraphRequest POST "v1.0/users/$userId/assignLicense" -Body @{
    removeLicenses = @()
    addLicenses    = @(
        @{
            skuId         = $license.SkuId
            disabledPlans = @()
        }
    )
}

Which, makes me think -AddLicenses should be passed as an array:

Set-MgUserLicense -UserId $userid -AddLicenses @(@{ SkuId = $license.SkuId }) -RemoveLicenses @()

EDIT

Unfortunately there seems to be a bug with the cmdlets as OP has found out, see https://github/microsoftgraph/msgraph-sdk-powershell/issues/3201. For now I'd recommend doing a direct API call which should work consistently.
