On top of https://developers.facebook.com/docs/development/build-and-test/test-users there's currently an alert displayed, reading

We are temporarily removing the ability for apps to create new test users. This should not affect existing test users. We will share an update once access to creating new test users has been reinstated.

So the error message you are getting is very likely to be related to this.
