Splunk Cloud Platform

Why has iplocation /all just stopped working - was returning timezone?

I am on splunk cloud and have been using this functionality which is pretty useful to determine what timezone our users are in. It just seems to have stopped since last Tuesday we just got our environment upgraded to Version:8.2.2203.4

it is returning the fields for timezone and metro but no data 

Any ideas ? (where x.x.x.x = ip address)

| makeresults 1
| eval src_ip = "x.x.x.x"
| iplocation src_ip allfields=true
| transpose
gives

column row 1
City Houston
Continent North America
Country United States
MetroCode  
Region Texas
Timezone  
_time 1663100176
lat 29.7604
lon -95.3698
src_ip x.x.x.x



I've raised a case but interested if anyone else has experienced this

Ok I fixed it by updating a new version of the GeoLite2-City database - don't appreciate it stop working in an upgrade though! I had a job reliant on that process
