SSML tags break text-to-speech

Hello, up until Friday I was inserting text-to-speech functionality into my project without any trouble, and I was using SSML tags. Nothing too complicated, just the <p> and <say-as> tags. 

Today when I tried to insert text-to-speech again, if I put the <speak> opening and closing tag, the Insert button grays out and doesn't allow inserting the audio. 

I saw that I had some updates pending so I updated, hoping that this would solve the problem, but it hasn't. 

Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks!

    Forgot to say I am using the same voice as always (Amy, standard voice) and have used the exact tags I am trying to use now previously.

    After some more tests it seems that it is a problem with the length of the text-to-speech, I split it in two parts and it works fine now. It would be good if an error message was showing so you'd know what the problem is.
