"wpcf7_validate_text" filter stopped working after Contact Form 7 plugin update to 5.6

I was using wpcf7_validate_text for all input type text as a custom validation in function.php, however after updating the form i could not see the my custom validation on input type text and textarea.

Can you please help how can i update those again. Code is given below

/* Code in Function.php */
    add_filter( 'wpcf7_validate_text', 'custom_firstname_confirmation_validation_filter', 5, 2  );
    add_filter( 'wpcf7_validate_text*', 
            'custom_firstname_confirmation_validation_filter', 5, 2  );
            
function custom_firstname_confirmation_validation_filter( $result, $tag ) {
    if ( 'firstname' == $tag->name ) { 
        $firstname = isset( $_POST['firstname'] ) ? trim( $_POST['firstname'] ) : '';

    if(empty($firstname)) {
        $msg = 'first name is Required';
        $result->invalidate( $tag, $msg);
    }
    else if (strlen((string)$firstname) < 6 || strlen((string)$firstname) > 12) {
          $msg = 'first name is not valid';
          $result->invalidate( $tag, $msg);
      }
    }

    return $result;
}

If your code above is exactly how you have it, then you have the return in the wrong page, and unless your tag matches, you'll get an error.

function custom_firstname_confirmation_validation_filter( $result, $tag ) {
    if ( 'firstname' === $tag->name ) {
        $first_name = isset( $_POST['firstname'] ) ? trim( $_POST['firstname'] ) : '';
        if ( empty( $first_name ) ) {
            $msg = 'First name is required';
            $result->invalidate( $tag, $msg );
        }
    }
    return $result;
}
