BatchComplete
When you make an API request using a generator together with properties, the API result may signal to continue because there are more properties to retrieve for the pages so far, or because there are more pages from the generator, or both. From version 1.25 onwards, the API returns a batchcomplete element to indicate that all data for the current "batch" of pages has been returned. This can be useful to avoid building a combined result set for thousands of pages when using a generator together with prop modules that may themselves need continuation.

Example
From the response, only three backlinks for TALKPAGENAMEE have been returned. If you send a GET request to fetch backlinks for TALKPAGENAMEE you will see that they are more than three, hence  is not included in the response because there's more data to be returned in this "batch". The next continuation will return more links until eventually all the links and all the backlinks for all of the 10 pages in this "batch" will be output, at which point the response will include. The continuation from the response with "batchcomplete" will begin returning data for the next set of 10 pages.
