# Shopify The automaticDiscounts query is removed in API version 2027-01

Markdown version of <https://harbyn.com/changes/shopify/2026-09-18-the-automaticdiscounts-query-is-removed-in-api-version-2027-01>.

Retirement - Shopify. medium severity. Announced.

The GraphQL Admin API removes the deprecated automaticDiscounts query, and the DiscountAutomaticConnection and DiscountAutomaticEdge types, in version 2027-01; requests using it on 2027-01 return a validation error. Move to discountNodes with query "method:automatic" before upgrading; 2026-10 and earlier keep working.
