Flow stopped working

A Flow triggered by a Forms submission has worked for a year but just stopped running. The last run failed (because a user entered incorrect info):

The 'inputs.parameters' of workflow operation 'Create_Purchase_Inquiry_Record' of type 'OpenApiConnection' is not valid. Error details: The API operation 'PostItem' requires the property 'item/InquirersiNumber' to be a string of maximum length '8' but is of length '17'.

I don't see why that would stop the trigger from working for future submissions. All connections seem okay. I see others who had this issue had to rebuild either the trigger action or the whole Flow, but this is a critical application, so that's not really an acceptable option.

    @MBates  Good to know - I didn't try that but did today and it also resuscitated the Flow.

    Same issue.  My flows with Forms Submission Trigger stopped working at the beginning of this week.  Turning the Flow off, opening and saving, turning back on seems to resolve but this is very frustrating.

    I ended up taking the path of least resistance and walking the owner through recreating the Flow with a new trigger and copy/pasting all the actions. Aside from the fact that this a big and expensive waste of my time, the fact that there's no indication of what broke the Flow and no way to triage this failure is disturbing. Msft seems to have no clue either.
