If your bot checks meta=userinfo&uiprop=hasmsg to determine if a talk page message has been posted in order to stop running, it is currently broken since Echo disables that along with the orange bar.
This issue is being tracked at https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47962
To clarify: this affects only wikis with Echo enabled, currently mediawiki.org, en.wikipedia.org, test.wikipedia.org, and test2.wikipedia.org (and any third-party wikis using the extension).
