Hello @migs35323,

Unfortunately this is not possible in its current state.
However, here is how to create a plugin that limit the number of character by using graphql-js.

import type { GraphQLRequestContext } from 'apollo-server-types';
import { GraphQLError } from 'graphql';

const plugin = (maxLength) => {
  return {
    async requestDidStart(context: GraphQLRequestContext) {
      if (!context.request.query) return;
      if (context.request.query.length > maxLength!) {
        throw new GraphQLError('Query is too large.', {
          extensions: { code: 'BAD_USER_INPUT' },
        });
      }
    },
  };
};

By the way, I recommend you to limit using the number of token instead.
