I put ~3gal of E15 fuel in my CX-5...apparently, that's a no-no. What to I do?

Tl;dr...is basically the title.

I put I'm not trying to be dramatic, but I feel like an idiot and obviously don't want to damage my car. It's a 2024 Select (N/A). I decided to top off my tank at a local gas station because I had a long drive ahead, and the gas there is generally cheaper than my area. I noticed the E-15 sticker above both the 87 and 88 selections, which I didn't remember being there before. I did a quick search online, which essentially said that it was OK for cars made after 2001. Mazda says that the car should run on 87 or above. So it seemed fine. Thankfully, it was only 3 or so gallons and not a whole tank.

I only realized my mistake when I read a news article about E15 being approved outside of the normal conditions/time lf year due to...current events. According to Mazda's owners' manual, the Skyactiv engine(s) shouldn't run on anything higher than E10. So now I'm concerned. Maybe I've been running this fuel without realizing it. I don't know. I plan to top it off with premium fuel for a week or two and hopefully dilute it. Should I be worried?
