Data unavailable for 2A-DPR on specific dates

[berberx]

Hi,

I'm encountering an issue while using the gpm package to download data. The code I wrote based on the template you give is:
import gpm

username_pps = "berber"
password_pps = "ZayneandAmber_999"
base_dir = "/Users/amberrr/Desktop/rainfall_research" # path to the directory where to download the data
gpm.define_configs(
username_pps=username_pps, password_pps=password_pps, base_dir=base_dir
)

You can check that the config file has been correctly created with:

configs = gpm.read_configs()
print(configs)

import datetime

product = "2A-DPR"
product_type = "RS"
version = 7

start_time = datetime.datetime(2023, 1, 1, 0, 1, 11)
end_time = datetime.datetime(2023, 12, 31, 0, 23, 5)

gpm.download(
product=product,
product_type=product_type,
version=version,
n_threads=2,
start_time=start_time,
end_time=end_time,
)

And when I try to run it in python, the following replies shows up:

The GPM-API config file has been updated successfully!

status, available_version = _download_daily_data(
No data found on PPS on date 2023-01-03 for product 2A-DPR (V07)

It kept repeating for the rest of the dates I request.
Is this a known issue or an expected behavior? Are there any addition steps to fetch the data, or should I wait for these files to become available?

Thanks in advance for your help!
