Comment (by danielbachhuber):

 Hi @asudakov,

 Can you share more details on how you're authenticating your request?

 If you're using cookie-based authentication, are you including a nonce in
 your request? If you don't include a nonce, WordPress will treat the
 request as unauthenticated, which would exhibit the behavior you see.
