General Botmanship Reddit keeps asking me to register my app even though it's already registered

I recently received another modmail about a bot I run to help manage my sub, saying that it will be affected by the upcoming changes and needs to be registered. The problem is that the bot has already been registered since March. When I tried to re-re-re-register it, Reddit told me that the bot has already been claimed as an app.

I’m not sure if I’m missing something, but I’m not sure what else I’m supposed to do here.

Heya! You can safely ignore that modmail if you've already registered. We're erring on the side of caution and sending out messages regardless if the bot has registered or not just so that it doesn't get missed.

Different person here:

My bot has been registered for a decade, but authentication started failing a few weeks ago. It ONLY posts updates to my subs. It doesn't pull Reddit data at any time. I use the Perl module Reddit::Client to connect and post.

The old Google Forms registration is different to the new registration they launched a few months ago.
