Error Action 'Get_file_content' failed

Hi guys, 
 
I built the flow that should take the files from OneDrive and send them based on the list of filenames and users that are saved in excel file. Suddenly I'm getting an error that getting file content steps fails and I don't understand what is the issue. Other identical flows are working, only random flows stopped working. Could you please help if possible as I'm currently out of the ideas what to try, but it seems that it cannot find the file with Id.
{
  "status"400,
  "message""The file id 'D47EDB383020D811!s21cc0ce1aef94291a5f475c7d52c2350' is not valid.",
  "source""api.connectorp.svc.ms"
}
 
Appreciate your support guys.
Br,

    Hey Mate,
     
    Its looks like a connection problem to me. Can you create a new connection and try?

    Hi CFernandes, 
     
    Thanks for the suggestion, I added another connection, but no luck, flow still fails with reference to file id.
    {
      "status"400,
      "message""The file id 'D47EDB383020D811!sabedd75c975146139e462cca29903674' is not valid.",
      "source""api.connectorp.svc.ms"
    }
     
    I re-created the flow and used Google Drive instead of OneDrive and everything works perfectly, but this is a workaround and requires a lot of time to rebuild all my flows. I hope that Microsoft will fix this one day.

    Thank you, for letting me know. I had checked your screenshot and the ID was correct so I suspected the connection as the error was strange.
     
    So the workaround till it gets resolved will be using "Get file content(using path)"
