Please tell me how to analyze. Thank u very much.

- iNeilDropbox EngineerHello Cici cici,
Would you be able to provide the full cURL command that you are using while executing the 2/users/get_space_usage endpoint?
I have tested the 2/users/get_space_usage endpoint, and I'm unable to replicate the issue. Please test the conditions using the following cURL command for the 2/users/get_space_usage endpoint.curl -v -X POST https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/users/get_space_usage \ --header 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN' \ --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \ --data 'null'
Please note, you can also test the endpoint while using our Dropbox API explorer.
