# Uncapped counts in GraphQL

DateMay 21, 2025

Version[2025-07](https://shopify.dev/changelog?api_version=2025-07)

Flags[Breaking API Change](https://shopify.dev/changelog?filter=breaking-api-change)[Action required](https://shopify.dev/changelog?action_required=true)

SurfacesAPI

Affected APIs[Admin GraphQL API](https://shopify.dev/changelog?api_type=admin-graphql)

All count APIs in GraphQL now return uncapped results. To retrieve an uncapped count, set the `limit` argument to `null`.

As part of this update, we've standardized the implementation across all GraphQL APIs. This change introduces a breaking change: all APIs now include a `limit` argument, with a default value of `10000`.
