What has changed on your site during that time? e.g. Plugins updated? (If you have automatic updates going on, you can look at the date/timestamps of your plugins in wp-content/plugins using FTP or your web hosting control panel’s file manager).

David, we have a “User Role Editor” plugin. We made a custom user type, and then after that it didn’t work to login to the site on the user’s behalf. We simply went to your file manager and modified the code for your plugin to also allow this custom user type along with your default “Customer” and “Subscriber”. Might be a good feature to add allowing additional user types to be logged in to?
The plugin can’t, by default, know where a new role type sits in the hierarchy of roles. It would be a security defect to assume that any new role type is a lesser role that an admin can be allowed to log in to. So, you have to use the provided filter in order to indicate where a new role sits in the hierarchy. Presumably that is what you did?
