monday.com API now defaults to 200-user cap

Executive Signal Summary

monday.com changed its GraphQL API default to version 2026-07 (Current) on July 1, 2026. The Query.users endpoint now silently returns at most 200 users when no limit is specified, and the limit argument itself is capped at 1000 (larger values error). Several scalar types changed (created_at → ISO8601DateTime!, utc_hours_diff → Float, birthday → String) and numerous fields/arguments are deprecated and scheduled for removal in version 2026-10, which will break integrations that still read the old fields. Integrations that do not send an explicit API-Version header automatically receive the Current version and are therefore affected. Practical impacts include incomplete SSO/SCIM deprovisioning, incorrect seat/license counts, and missing HR sync records unless clients implement explicit pagination and the other migration steps.

High Confidence

Silent default upgrade to a new API version that changes response shape and limits can break downstream identity, provisioning, billing, and data pipelines for many integrations; requires code changes (pagination and schema migrations).

Key Takeaways & Evidence Grounding

  • monday.com set API version 2026-07 as the Current (default) version on July 1, 2026.
  • Query.users without a limit now returns a maximum of 200 users (silent cap) rather than all users.
  • The users query 'limit' parameter is now capped at 1000; requests over 1000 produce an error.
  • Scalar type changes in 2026-07 include created_at (Date → ISO8601DateTime!), utc_hours_diff (Int → Float), and birthday (Date → String).
  • Fields and arguments (permission booleans, photo_* fields, and args like kind/newest_first/non_active) are deprecated in 2026-07 and will be removed in 2026-10.

Google updates Gemini usage limits

Google changed usage limits for its Gemini apps, with the new rules taking effect on May 17, 2026. Limits are computed based on resource usage rather than a fixed request count: factors include request complexity, chat length, and use of features such as video, music, image generation, Deep Think, Deep Research and Pro models. Google says limits refresh every five hours until a user's weekly cap is reached. Free accounts have standard limits; paid tiers increase capacity (AI Plus = 2x, AI Pro = 4x, AI Ultra = 5x or 20x depending on plan). Users can view their consumption while logged into the same Google account at gemini.google.com/usage. The changes apply to users aged 18 and over.

Shopify 2025-01 GraphQL Release Breaks Fields

Shopify's GraphQL Admin API 2025-01 introduced breaking changes that removed or reshaped commonly used fields without returning HTTP errors. Notable changes include replacing fulfillmentHold.heldBy (String) with fulfillmentHold.heldByApp (object with title and id), removal of PrivateMetafield from the public API (requiring migration to app-data metafields), and removal of accountNumber and routingNumber from ShopifyPaymentsBankAccount. Because responses still return 200 OK and many clients treat unknown types or empty results as valid, these changes cause silent runtime failures in third-party apps. The author recommends pinning API versions, monitoring deprecation warnings, and implementing runtime shape monitoring to detect schema drift.
