Transactions via APMs return UNPROCESSABLE_ENTITY/TRANSACTION_REFUSED

I have a website where I accept payments with PayPal JavaScript SDK. Everything was working fine until around a week ago: payments via Alternative Payment Methods (notably BLIK and Przelewy24) started returning HTTP error 400 UNPROCESSABLE_ENTITY/TRANSACTION_REFUSED. Payments via PayPal work just fine.

I have confirmed that my code is correct, and this issue happens even on PayPal's example site: https://developer.paypal.com/demo/checkout/#/pattern/client

 

Here's the returned error when sending a POST request to https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/smart/api/order/{id}/capture (using a sandbox client ID)
