Color change gcode no longer working after update

MK3S, firmware 3.14.1-8237, slicer version 2.8.1+win64

I've had many successful multi-color prints (single extruder) the past 2 years, but after a recent update (slicer and firmware), something is wonky. The gcode shows the M600 for color change, but the printer doesn't 'see' it (best I can describe). When starting the print job, it doesn't scroll through the times for color change.

I've never radically altered settings and haven't changed anything at all from previous to current, yet a gcode file created earlier this year works and one created this week (after the update) does not. 

Any help/direction is appreciated!

Can you share the Project file, including the model and M600 allocation
you will need to zip compress the .3mf file, and attach the zip file to your next post.

There's a known bug that broke the colour change time showing (M73).  It's in the release notes.  It will still do the change, just not the count down. 
https://github.com/prusa3d/Prusa-Firmware/issues/4734   

It was partially fixed in 2.9 alpha and the newer 2.9 beta is supposed to catch a few more cases.  Although 2.9 is not released yet so use at your own risk.
