For about a month, my site organic keywords amount/ranking have been dropping for no apparent reason.
What's happening to my site?

Maybe it's the new google updates. I suggest you wait a bit more.
 
how have your keywords and ranking been dropping if your traffic is ever increasing? I mean, it's a known fact that google regulates the traffic, so probably you're one of the lucky benefactors of this regulation for some reason, and - despite of this - your keywords and rankings might still be dropping. I guess that's possible....

But penalized you're not, at least not according to that screenshot
 
How about the GSC & Analytics (if any) traffic?
Ahrefs does not provide up-to-date or accurate analytics, sometimes it takes weeks for them to update some keywords/SERPs data,

How about the ranking positions for top/most of the keywords?
Penalized websites will usually get out of the SERPs for all/majority of the keywords, is it the case for you?

As per the screenshot, the traffic is declining, it's not totally vanishing, so probably negatively impacted & devaluated rather than penalized,
The website could be hit directly by the recent update for whatever reason, or indirectly in case any/many of the websites linking to yours got hit

Click to expand...
Traffic seems to have dropped considerably in gsc as well.
 
I think it's not the right time to decide. You can wait for some more time and monitor the results. It seems like just a usual fluctuation. If you see some huge drops in the upcoming days, your site is at risk.
 
If you have slow traffic drop in GSC stats - it is not a penalty.
Usually in penalty case you will have hard drop of impressions and traffic in a couple of days to zero or nearby.
 
Impossible to tell with so little information. How so you expect anyone to do any real analysis when we only have a graph to go with? Could be a million and one things.
 
Check the GSC for that. Has GSC clicks and impressions gone to 0 or it's going towards 0?

If its going towards 0 then you can recover it if you keep working on your website and if the graph has a straight line to zero then your domain has been penalized.
 
The recent google core update is not penalising websites. It is mainly an adjustment to remove some jumk from their database. If your site is not a spamsite, it will regain its ranking/positions in next few days.
