Good day @prestashoppe,
Thank you for posting to the PayPal community.
I have cross checked the PayPal service logs and haven't located any timeouts/service maintenance.

If your still facing the issue, I would suggest to please create a MTS ticket via - https://www.paypal-support.com/s/?language=en_US with the error details.
Sincerely,
