GraphQL Mutation Error "applies_on_subscription field is not permitted without the shop using subscriptions"

GraphQL Admin API Troubleshooting

Hey everyone,

I’m currently facing an issue with the discountAutomaticFreeShippingCreate mutation—it’s failing with the following error:

"applies_on_subscription field is not permitted without the shop using subscriptions"

This happens even though no subscription-related fields are included in the request.

What’s puzzling is that this was working fine until a few days ago, and now some of my clients have started reporting the issue. Even more confusing, I’m not seeing this error on our development store—the mutation still works as expected there.

Has anyone else encountered this or know what might be causing it? Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi again @Dave_Evans

We recently shipped an update which should have resolved this, can you test again on your side?
