In that case, You might have to look at the pointers given by the Moz team. The links pointing to your page might need to be evaluated and checked. Check if there is any change on the anchor text, linking images etc. Use the link explorer to check the historical changes.

No,
I have not made any changes in past 2 weeks.
But I am worried all my metrics are increasing for all of the page.
Page Authority has decreased for a particular page only. -
Hi there!
Jo from the Moz help team here.
While it can't be hard to say for certain why your PA decreased I can offer some guidance for how you can research what has happened here.
Domain Authority is our best prediction about how content would perform in search engine rankings on one site vs. another. Page Authority answers the same question for an individual page. Both are amalgamations of all the link metrics we have combined into a single, predictive score.
Your score can decrease if there was a reduction on the number of equity passing back links to those pages, have you lost any links or disavowed any links recently?
It's important to note that both Domain Authority and Page Authority are on a 100-point, logarithmic scale. So you authority could decrease as our index grows and we locate more equity passing links to other sites - even if you gain more backlinks.
We recommend keeping track of how many linking domains you have in the discovered and lost section of Link Explorer or the Links section of your campaign, as this will be a quick way to confirm possible reasons for an increase or decrease in the score.
To get the most out of the authority scores we recommend comparing with competitors’. By measuring the distance between these scores, and tracking the change over time, you'll be able to identify if you're improving relative to the sites that really matter — your direct SEO competitors. We also recommend keeping track of how many linking root domains you have from index update to index update, as this will be a quick way to confirm possible reasons for an increase or decrease in the score.
I hope this helps, please do let me know if you would like more clarification or have any other queries.
Jo

Minor updates like these can be part of the game, but did you make any changes in the past few weeks?

Links to non-exisiting pages
Hi, I have tons of incoming links to target pages on my website that do not exist. If you follow the link you get a 404 error. The anchor text is always a "spammy" non related text. Does anyone know what is happening and how to get rid or block these links? Thanks, Dirk

Moz bot transforms special characters into fake 404 Pages in Reports
I have a lot of 404 links in my exported Moz Pro reports which are not actually Not Found pages when checking the Referring URL. For example: Referring URL:
Link Explorer | | ProspectoGroup
https://ofertolino.ro/oferte/barn%C3%A4ngen 404:
https://ofertolino.ro/barn%C3%83%C2%A4ngen What happens is that the referring URL leads to a redirect (https://ofertolino.ro/barn%C3%A4ngen) but it never leads to the specified 404 Page (which has even a more weird symbol in the URL when it is url decoded) in the report. What could be the issue here and is the Moz bot responsible for such misbehaviour?0 -
Page Authority Migration
PageA.html has a lot of links and has a Page Authority score. It is 301 redirected to PageB.html and eventually in OSE this also accumulates a Page Authority score. Is there a reason why PageA.html many months/years after continues to have a Page Authority when it is expected that its Authority signals have migrated (with any dampening effect etc) across to PageB.html.

Permanent 301 - Domain Authority
Hi, we created a new website which we also gave a new url.
Link Explorer | | DIGIHOUSE
We made a permanent 301 for the complete domain. www.digihouse.at -> www.digihouse-werbeagentur.at Google checked that and we rank minimum as good as with the old domain.
But in MOZ Tools the Domain Authority is very bad now.
So i think the 301 influences Google but not the Moz Tools?
The Domain Authority will not be inherited in Moz Tools? thxChris0 -
