Here is a failing request and response
I managed to reproduce this with a small file file.txt contents shello and using
rclone cat --offset 3 dropbox:file.txt -vv --dump bodies
This made this request
2023/04/25 11:20:46 DEBUG : HTTP REQUEST (req 0xc0009fec00) 2023/04/25 11:20:46 DEBUG : POST /2/files/download HTTP/1.1 Host: content.dropboxapi.com User-Agent: rclone/v1.63.0-beta.6980.470db6bcd Content-Length: 0 Authorization: XXXX Content-Type: application/octet-stream Dropbox-Api-Arg: {"path":"id:qqS0afUHwS0AAAAAAA6Nig"} Range: bytes=3-6
And this response which appears to have muddled up the body with the header

Issue reported hours ago, Dropbox confirmed that there is an issue, status.dropbox.com still says "All Systems Operational". Thats poor to be honest.
