I noticed my iCloud drive was not synchronizing. I fixed it then it happened again a week or two later. I decided to write a blog post of the steps to fix it for myself or others as all steps I found online did not work and I wasted a lot of time.

It feels utterly wrong that there is not an Event Log entry (I am not an iCloud user, so cannot easily check) or some other, better log in place.

The snide cynic in me wants to reach for the whole "Apple does not expose this sort of detailed data to the user", but for backups, that seems important enough for that to not be the case?
