PayPal buttons are different from API payments. It's not very strange at all as they're two wildly different endpoints and APIs. You're erroring at PayPal and not at CBSubs when it's processing the payment so there's nothing for us to capture to know what could go wrong. Only they would be able to tell you what failed as they'd have to review their logs. That error usually is due to merchant id, primary email address, or identity token being incorrect. Please be sure those are configured correctly and you've set it to live payments.
We're using legacy NVP/SOAP API that has been stable for years so it suddenly failing would either be due to configuration problem, a temporary technical issue at PayPal, or PayPal is trying to get rid of everyone using it. We'll be rewriting into their new Rest API sometime this year, but this should absolutely still be working (and does for payments here at Joomlapolis).
