Query complexity defines the cost of each operation you make. This cost is used when determining an account's API usage with respect to our rate limiting.

The fields in this section will allow you to determine the complexity cost of your queries as you make them. For more information about our rate limits, check out this article: Rate Limits.

Fields

The following fields will determine what information is returned from your complexity queries.

Field	Description

before `!Int`	The complexity before the query's execution.
query `!Int`	This specific query's complexity.
reset_in_x_seconds `!Int`	How long (in seconds) before your complexity budget is reset.
