Comment:

 @danielbachhuber @swissspidy thanks for info.

 Now I got it:
 there is a nonce system.
 So, it's a feature, not a bug.

 And I had "REST API – OAuth 1.0a Server" + "REST API" to submit posts to
 WP from another application. It stopped working. But now I see nonce
 passed back from OAuth. And I checked it works with REST API and /users/me
 endpoint.

 Btw, you don't have /user/me described in your docs at:
 https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/reference/users/#retrieve-a-user

 and all
 "Arguments"
 "Definition"
 "Example Request"
 anchors are the same and incorrect for not list users sections.
