My Magnus, not sure if NFC got corrupted wave and pay stopped working.

Was working till late evening and layer few transactions declined then had to enter PIN.

Today also same situation (thought it could be daily limit yday though I never went even above the set POS limit set)

Planning to get it replaced
 
First, it sounds like you're getting asked to input PIN after doing Tap to Pay or contact-less payments.
This is normal and a security feature for purchases that cross a certain amount threshold. Certain well know commerce might allow higher purchase limits without having to enter any PIN.

Just to clarify, you can be asked to enter PIN after doing Tap to Pay. Card doesn't need to be inserted.

If what you meant to say is that it doesn't work and you have to insert your card then I have personally experienced the same with metal credit cards but it seems to be more related to card distance to the payment terminal, how long you hold it against it but moreso quite often related to specific credit card terminals. I always experience the same issue in the same shops and in the same payment terminals so it's likely their sensor, design, components might not play very well with metal cards.

It gives me declined for 200 or so as well.

Same goes fine after old chip way of inserting the card, entering PIN.

Was working and suddenly stopped for no reason and card is in good condition.

Will apply for a replacement I guess.
