Do AutoMl predictions not work when uploaded into Google Cloud Functions

Question

Im writing code that makes a prediction based on a trained AutoMl multi-label Classifier. The function works if I run it locally, however, as soon as i upload the same code to Cloud Functions on GCP (a process that i know usually works) it provides me with this error

TypeError: predict() takes from 1 to 2 positional arguments but 4 were given

Here is a sample of my code, taken straight from the AutoMl documentation with some slight adjustments.

def get_sentiment(content):
    """
    Returns a google cloud platform payload class containing the sentiment score given by our NLP sentiment analyser.
    :param content: STRING (UTF-8 encoded, ASCII)
    :return: <class 'google.cloud.automl.types.PredictResponse'>
    """
    options = ClientOptions(api_endpoint='automl.googleapis.com')
    prediction_client =   automl_v1beta1.PredictionServiceClient(client_options=options)

    name = model_sentiment
    payload = {'text_snippet': {'content': content, 'mime_type': 'text/plain'}}
    params = {}
    request = prediction_client.predict(name, payload, params)
    return request

I have tried removing the params variable from prediction and replacing payload with content the only change is that I get the error:

TypeError: predict() takes from 1 to 2 positional arguments but 3 were given

Additionally, I have replaced automl_v1beta1 with automl and automl_v1. and again while both work locally they do not work on Google Cloud.

Thank you for any advice or help

Update, Apparently there are some bugs in the latest version of AutoML and the error was fixed by running the code on a previous version of it. Specifically in my case v0.9.0
