Verified facts
What happened
Shopify says the Events subscription query complexity limit is changing from 250 points to 100 points; the limit applies to each subscription query.
Complexity depends on selected fields, the types of data they return, and the number of items requested in connections using first or last.
The change does not affect Classic Webhooks, and queries run by Events subscriptions do not count toward an app’s API rate limits.

Why it matters
Apps with Events queries above 100 points may need query changes to stay within the new limit; the supplied announcement does not specify an effective date.
The limit concerns each subscription query, so separating different work into multiple subscriptions may help keep each query within bounds.
