We have improved the way we calculate GraphQL query complexity on Rich Text fields. We now add the sum total of the linked entry/asset limits set in the rich text field's validations settings and use that to calculate the number of complexity points for the field.

This reflects how we calculate complexity points on reference fields using the limit parameter. If you ensure your linked entry/asset limits are set in the validations settings, the GraphQL complexity calculation will be far lower than they were previously.

See the GraphQL Content API reference for more details.
