I just checked the game on gogdb and I can see an update made to the game very recently -
https://www.gogdb.org/product/1207659030#changelog. It says the build was changed at the end of september. Is it possible the game was also part of the Preservation Program ? It does not have its own store page anymore so there is no way to confirm but it does feel like it is possible. What have been changed though is impossible to tell. Also I do indeed see cloud saves on the pcgamingwiki for the GOG version being supported.
Edit: Now that I looked a bit more careful it seems the new build was reverted like Memecchi mentioned. It goes from 1.2 ⇒ 1.2 20230712 and then back to 1.2 20210923 ⇒ 1.2
About the 200 mb limit - I am really surprised you have not seen at least one e-mail being warned about it. I received quite a few before the change!
