#10417 [Shopify] Pace raw-text GraphQL calls to prevent excessive throttling

The Shopify connector now paces GraphQL requests issued through the raw-text overload to prevent excessive throttling, by using an estimated cost value instead of zero.

What changed

  • The single-argument ExecuteGraphQL(Text) overload previously hard-coded ExpectedCost to 0, causing no pacing between requests
  • This resulted in rapid bucket depletion and retry loops with no back-off on shops with small GraphQL cost buckets
  • The fix sets ExpectedCost to 10 (the average Shopify mutation cost) to restore pre-request and inter-retry pacing
  • The retry loop now benefits from pacing without requiring changes to its logic
  • Data integrity is not affected; sync throughput is improved by reducing throttling events
  • Behaviour changes for users or extensions.
