I have a couple of sites I need to use 2FA to access and until the last couple of days I’ve always received codes promptly but now they have stopped. How do I resolve this please?

Apple's 2FA is only for accessing your Apple account. Other websites use their own 2FA, so that will depend on the method used on your account for those sites. Usually they are sent by email or SMS message. The first step is to figure out if they are sending you a SMS message or email. For SMS, it is a cell carrier service that would be blocked by them for some reason and for email, it may be going into your junk folder.

This is not a fix. I would categorize it more as a work around.
I have Wi-Fi Calling enabled. Cell service is really spotty at our home.
When I am left waiting for a text 2FA, I got to Settings -> Cellular -> Wi-Fi Calling
I then disable "Wi-Fi Calling on This Phone" & Prefer "Wi-Fi While Roaming"
I then re-enable these 2 settings.
My missing texts immediately come thru.
Works 100% of the time for me. Just sayn'
Why have my Apple 2FA codes stopped working?
