Jonathan, in theory, if you never use query continuation, you don't need to
do anything with your code - you just need to tell the community that the
bot is ok to use the new continuation system. This way noone will block the
bot just in case. It is much better than to use "rawcontinue", because
that flag will keep telling us someone needs the old system.

I run GrantsBot, which is listed here.
I've updated all GrantsBot API requests to use rawcontinue=1. But as I read
through this thread, it's not clear to me that that's the problem. I can't
find a single instance in my code where I'm actually continuing a query.
Does this breaking change only apply be an issue if you were using
querycontinue in the first place?
I'm sure this has been covered elsewhere or I'm missing something obvious,
but I'd be grateful for specific confirmation :)
Best,
Jonathan
