Agressive=True not working on client.get_participants

[Jayceeit]

We are unable to use the Agressive = True setting on client.get_participants since last week. When using it, we get a number of floodwait errors. We don't get these floodwait errors when using the method client(getParticipantsRequest

#our participants request where target_group is a group ID
original_participants = client.get_participants(target_group, aggressive=True)

#this one works if I comment out the afforementioned
participants = client(GetParticipantsRequest(
        target_group, ChannelParticipantsAdmins(), offset, limit,
        hash=0
    ))

This only started recently, this code was working perfectly until then. We made no changes to our code in that time. We are thinking it has to do with an update in the past week.
