I had a routine where at a set time my Google home would receive the text command “Shuffle my Alarms Null Null playlist on <group name>”. It worked perfectly because my device would play songs from my personal forcibly uniquely named playlist without waking me up to screaming at top volume “OK shuffling your alarms null null playlist on <group name>”. However, suddenly within the last 2 or 3 days my devices are now unable to find any of my playlists. Using the word “my” and a unique name will now play a random playlist from Spotify with a name at least 75% different from mine. I have tried hours of troubleshooting, unlinking/ re-linking accounts, resetting devices, varying the command syntax, changing playlist names and settings, removing and re-integrating devices into my home and network. I’m at a loss as to why the command just stopped working with no changes on my end. If anyone has information on how to fix this I would really appreciate it.

I'm having the exact same problem. Automations playing a playlist were working fine. Now it's a crap shoot what playlist they're actually going to play. And this is true even outside of automations. At least half the time when I tell a nest product to play a personal playlist it plays some rando content. And the lack of comments about this for several months makes me think I'm going to have to dump my nest products and find some other solution.
