Thanks! This generally shouldn't be very common, but it is possible and expected sometimes. The listFolder[Continue] interface doesn't guarantee a non-zero number of results (due to various aspects of how the backend is implemented), so it is possible to get empty pages like this. You should have your app handle these normally, e.g., looping over the entries to process them, which would just result in 0 iterations in this case. Apologies for the confusion!
