CSS-only Parallax background stopped working on all devices/browsers - html

Question

I noticed this happening a couple of weeks ago on a website that I built and have worked on since 2017. On the landing page of this site, there's two sections that are supposed to have a sort of slow parallax scrolling effect that I implemented with straight CSS (no JavaScript.) For some reason, the parallax effect no longer works on any device that I've tried, with several browsers across multiple devices. The CSS hasn't been updated since probably 2019. It seemed to be working a few weeks ago when I had last checked to update the site.
here's the relevant CSS if you don't want to open dev tools. I realize some of this is really shoddy, I've done better as a dev since:

And the relevant HTML (via PHP, but I doubt that matters):
<div id='tour-header'>

</div>
<div id='tour-gallery' class="parallax-back">
<div id='tour-gallery-text'>
<h2><b>Main Gallery</b></h2>
<p>The Main Gallery includes original works of art by Anni that are available for purchase at reasonable prices.

Thing is, when I look up other methods of implementing parallax with just CSS, a lot of those CodePens and demos, some as recent as this year, don't work as intended either. Did something happen with the rules of CSS or something? Because this used to work, I swear! Any help is appreciated!

Answer 1

Mine broke too, I am not sure what changed, but if you add
transform-style: preserve-3d;
to your paralax container it should fix it.
