accessToken changes in linked account?

My app is no longer working and it appears to be from changes in the handlerInput response JSON.

I used to be able to grab the accessToken via:

handlerInput.requestEnvelope.session.user.accessToken;

But now it does not seem to be there. It appears that instead there is a block called "permissions" with a consentToken in place? That is not the same thing for me though. Is there any documentation on these breaking changes?

I just tested on one of my skills and the accessToken is still appears under the session.user object.

Is it possible the account is no longer linked? If the account isn't linked, no value is included in the Request.
