Addbatchstatus now requires energy field?

I’ve been using addbatchstatus to push some extended data parameters available in the logdata push from Fronius (but not available in the inverter or meter pushes). Thus I only want to push the extended data in addbatchstatus, not any energy or power data etc. I just leave those earlier fields blank. This used to work but I just noticed that this request is failing with error 400 since 29-June-2025, I presume because the API spec now says that the energy field is required. Is there any reason why an energy value is now force required? I tried setting energy to -1 but that did not work.
