We have fixed the issue and updated the version of plugin. Please let us know if you still have any issue there.
edit: nevermind, seems to be ok now!
edit2: ok the view cron log error is gone, and i can see there's a cron job set to run at 12:01 on the 1st of each month. However, when i force it to run now nothing happens. I'm not seeing anything happening in the API logs on the Mailchimp end either.
