Handling download_failed Errors in Dropbox API Jobs

I have a cron script that fetches PDF URLs and saves them to our Dropbox. Sometimes, I encounter a download_failed error for some files.

When using the save_url endpoint, I receive an asyn_job_id, which I then use to check the job status via the check_job_status endpoint. The response I get looks like this:
{
".tag": "failed",
"failed": {
".tag": "download_failed"
}
}
I s there a way I can see why it failed ?
Thanks.
