I checked and it seems that in the cmplz_is_bot() function both Googlebot-Video and Google-InspectionTool aren’t being looked for?
Maybe this reference would help:

Hi @asafm7,
We’ll add the additional tokens. I tried this before with rich snippets, and didn’t find any issues.
We have some older articles for reference that are still indexed properly;

But it might just be lucky to fall in the major traffic from bots, from the US which is opt-out.

It seems Google usually uses the ‘Googlebot smartphone’ user-agent for indexing. And in this case, consent is automatically given. So, the drop I’m seeing might not be related.
It might be a good idea to add the user agent I’ve mentioned. Even if just to prevent confusion when people inspect through Google Search Console. Though I’m not an expert on the subject

Thanks, @aahulsebos. We commented simultaneously.
When inspecting through Google Search Console, Google-InspectionTool is being used. So, your fix should prevent the confusion I had:

Hi @asafm7,
I have added it in Complianz 7, which will be in Beta soon. If you’re interested, I can give you a spot for the first release. You can contact me -> aert@really-simple-plugins.com.
