Is anyone experiencing this ?
To satisfy the "need to see some code" requests:

const showLatestVideos = (payload, chat) => {
chat.say({
cards: [

};
And this is how the above content/message is sent:
bot.hear(['latest', 'videos', 'rate', 'senaste', 'videon'], showLatestVideos);
Answering this question/issue...
It turned out to be a Facebook bug which is fixed now! Hooray
