Any feature that allows you to not use Manifold for a day but keep your streak (either by pre-emptively buying something that protects your streak if you don't use Manifold, or by somehow recovering your streak after you lose it).
This market resolves YES if such a feature has already been introduced and is active at the time I'm creating this market. (If the feature has been introduced and then removed again, that isn't relevant for this market's resolution, but I'd be pleased to hear about it if you know something and fancy sharing it in the comments.)

@chrisjbillington streak saves as described aren't the same as the extant forgiveness imo, but so it goes
@Stralor I would have bet more carefully if not for the very broad criterion of "Any feature that allows you to not use Manifold for a day but keep your streak"
@chrisjbillington Let me just check I understand how this works. If I join the site in January, on the 1st of February I get a "streak forgiveness token". If I then miss a day on the 14th of February, when I log in on the 15th of February my streak is still there but my "streak forgiveness tokens" have gone down by one?
@Stralor Good grief, that's even "worse" than I was expecting: you don't even need to manually activate it or spend mana or anything.
Sorry it's not what you were expecting from my title wording, @Stralor (not really what I had in mind either) but it definitely counts as "Any feature that allows you to not use Manifold for a day but keep your streak" so I'll resolve YES.
Thank you both for helping me be aware of/understand this.
@Fion all good. it's on me for missing the part about
resolves YES if such a feature has already been introduced and is active at the time I'm creating this market
@Fion So I guess when DavidKochanov lost their streak a few days ago, that was probably after a week or so of not using the site. They probably had several "streak forgiveness tokens" that were going down one by one for a few days.
@Fion Looks to me like they only missed a single day, but possibly that they missed a few other single days in the past few weeks as well. Maybe they burned through all their forgiveness points and had none left.
@Stralor I was trying this, but looks like it's not there:

It's there in the code. Every user unconditionally gets +1 streak forgiveness point on the first of the month:
https://github.com/manifoldmarkets/manifold/blob/main/backend/functions/src/scheduled/increment-streak-forgiveness.ts
And here's where it is used to prevent losing their streak, decrementing 1 forgiveness point instead:
I see no mention of this in the UI (anymore), but it's in the code, so looks to be happening.
