Android Shortcut not working anymore

Somehow Android Shortcut functionality has stopped working completely. All 3 options (Quick Settings, Power options and Show recent apps) don't work for me anymore. Also not when I test them within MacroDroid. Accessibility permissions are granted as in the picture. I already switched them off and on again. Draw over other app permission is also granted. I didn't change the macro and it has worked before. What else could be the problem?

Can you provide details on your environment such as the device, version of android and version of macrodroid? Also, has anything been updated/installed at or around the issue was first observed? Without more information, it is difficult to even begin troubleshooting.

Thanks

I use MD ver 5.21 and use the Android version and device as in the screenshot. There was no major Android upgrade recently. I can't even remember a small one but not sure. I realized it yesterday when I analyzed it but I think it was already not working for a few weeks. I just didn't pay attention before but was wondering why some functions of my macro didn't work as usual.

Hi @Andy can you please use report a bug via the troubleshooting section and share your macro.

I've done a few quick tests and the Android shortcut functionality is working fine for me.

Now it works again. Same MD version. All that happened was the automatic weekly deactivating of the accessibility rights. I just turned them both on again. But as I said, I deactivated and reactivated them before as well.
