The 'float' parameter has been renamed to 'scale' in version v2.97.0 to eliminate a shadowing conflict with Python's built-in float type.

Why it matters: If your code uses the deprecated 'float' keyword, update configurations and scripts to use 'scale' before deploying v2.97.0; otherwise calls will fail due to undefined parameter.
