Can't say anything else. Was running smoth and now I get this error.

longtable got an update and therefore the patch is no longer applying. The patch is applied to add \acswitchoff while the longtable is not yet final. Without that one even more compilation runs might be necessary. You can disable it by using

\acsetup{patch/longtable=false}

in your preamble. It's possible to locally replace the hook to work with the current version but I think it's easier to maintain when waiting for an update of acro.
