Sandbox: Billing Plan Override is not allowed due to insufficient permission error

[ganimp84]

Recently, we encountered an issue with subscription payments in our test/sandbox environment. The error message we received was: "Billing Plan Override is not allowed due to insufficient permission." This is concerning, as this functionality was previously working smoothly. We conducted research on this error and came across a related discussion on Stack Overflow, which mentioned changes in the PayPal subscription API regarding plan override.

FYI, we are using the React library below for our checkout page,
https://www.npmjs.com/package/@paypal/react-paypal-js

I want to clarify that, at the moment, our subscription payments continue to function correctly in our production environment. However, given the recent issue in our test/sandbox environment, we are reaching out to request guidance that we can proactively address any potential issues in our production environment
