Are alerts working with the api version 2.5 #3

Can you confirm that the openweathermap api v2.5 still returns alerts? I have tested it this morning and none of the calls with the 2.5 version of the api for any lat/lon I specify seems to include the alerts array. Is it possible that the alerts now require the 3.0 api subscription?

To confirm you would probably need to reach out to openweathermap to see if they had made a change. Their documentation still includes the alerts object for 2.5: https://openweathermap.org/api/one-call-api

Assuming the lat/lon that you have been providing do have active weather alerts, I suspect that onecall 2.5 is temporarily not including the alerts object for some reason. I have seen in the past where onecall does not have an alert object for a period of time (e.g. 6-12 hours). I had sent openweathermap an email with info on the missing data and the issue was resolved within a couple hours, though it's not clear to me if my email triggered the resolution or if the error would have recovered on its own.

I suggest waiting a few hours and checking again; if you're still not seeing the expected data, then sending openweathermap an email might get you results.
