Error running report with custom segment

[Tyler Richendollar]

Hello – 

Since I started using the Google Analytics add on a few years ago, I've been managing a custom segment that filters out a lot of spam activity that Google doesn't filter (e.g., we get hit with 300 bots from source::trafficlive.net at 4am last week).

On Sunday, I was sent an error message for an automated report due to the segment not being supported, and when I went to run it manually today, I received the same error:

"1 report failed due to errors

Site Search Report: API call to analyticsreporting.reports.batchGet failed with error: Segment wb7oZGGPSRy0km1Mc0lmqg is not supported in the API."

I've been using this same segment (and same segment id – gaid::wb7...) for two years. I suppose as of May 1 or May 2, Google changed something about segments and segment IDs for custom segments. I tried the report again with one of the standard IDs (gaid::-1), and it ran the report just fine. 

Any thoughts on the issue here? Are custom segments no longer supported in this current format (gaid::someLongString123)? How can I use this add-on to run data ONLY against this custom segment, or is it no longer possible?

Thanks for any help here, 
Tyler
