GCP Cloud Functions no longer categorizes errors correctly with tracebacks

Question

I've been using Cloud Functions for over a year now and in the last month or so, there's been a change that's made it much more difficult to troubleshoot errors.

Previously, something as simple as the following would generate an Error in Logging with the offending line number and traceback (KeyError: 'test' here), but now Logging just shows Function execution took X ms, finished with status: 'crash' categorized under Debug.

def hello_world(request):
    request_json = request.get_json()
    print(request_json)
    print(request_json['test'])
    return f'Hello World!'

Does anybody have any insights on what happened, and advice on how to proceed to troubleshoot Cloud Functions with crashes going forward please? Thank you in advance!
