Reddit comment parentID has the wrong format #699

The id and parentID seem to have different entry format, like say this "id": "t1_j72b5yy", "parentId": 41785179015. I can see how I can deduce what all comments come from the reply to a comment (having same parentID). But how to get the parent comment?

I guess Pushshift changed that with their recent botched API migration.
