Did you by any chance swap a drive, add/replace drives, or otherwise modify the pool during the last boot cycle?

No nothing changed.
First power outage the system was turn off not properly. Second time i gave shutdown by pressing the power button once. So normal shutdown.
After the first one it went up and decrypted normally.
On the second one it shows the message of wrong geli key.
The only thing i changed last week was the root paswd. Dont think is related.
Anyway i solved by going to my previous boot in U2 version. Old pass for root and attached the geli key normaly and worked.
Should i export a new key maybe after changing root passwd? Should not be related to the partition encryption i think.

I will stay in u2 for some time to be safe.
