cannot upload ipa to TestFlight

On the same machine I used before to upload ipa using altool, now I get the below error. same thing happens when I try to distribute from xCode. I should mention nothing has changed regarding connectivity on my side or network wise.
Is there something changed on the server side?

l.e. it works using transporter to upload
