I have seen this happen with Facebook ad campaigns before. I would compare frequency, CTR, and CPM from when the campaign was performing well to when the decline started.
If frequency has gone up while CTR has dropped, I would definitely suspect some level of creative or audience fatigue.
How long had the Facebook campaign been running before performance declined?
Have you tested any new creatives or audiences yet, and did you notice whether CPM or frequency changed significantly around the same time?
Also what is the offer and what is the niche?
