Condition behavior changed since last update

Configuration
1

I had a condition in automation and today learned to reverse the parameters.
It has worked with the below for the past 3 years

condition: time
after: input_datetime.legal_sound_on
before: input_datetime.legal_sound_off

Last updated changed the behavior and today I changed it to:
condition: time
after: input_datetime.legal_sound_off
before: input_datetime.legal_sound_on

Do I need to delete the condition and recreate it? Maybe something on the back end?

We need to know intended behavior before can advise what to do. So what is supposed to happen?

Also post the existing automation inside preformatted text blocks <> (you can get to it under the gear icon on the editor here in the thread)

the condition is suppose to pass if time is after the legal sound time variable and before the sound end time variable. The condition started to fail after the update. So in research I looked at the trace and figured if I reversed the variables listed it works.

all the other conditions passed above this one. After reversing the variables it passes. So the question is it a concern that I had to go in and make a change after 3 years of not changing the script.

Please remove the screenshot and go back and post it like we asked.

(im in a phone and that picture is microscopic there’s a reason we ask not to post screenshots of yaml)

I hope this is a correct posting

Input time was inversed. dont know how this happened - but it is behaving normally now.
