Do sub queries inside GROQ count as individual queries towards the plan quota?

Hey hey! Super simple question, if you know the answer. 😁
Do sub queries inside GROQ count as individual queries towards the plan quota, or do they not count?

No, they don’t count extra. The following all count as one query:

*[_type == 'author']

*[_type == 'author']{
  ...,
  'posts': *[_type == 'post' && author._ref == ^._id],
}

{
  'authors': *[_type == 'author'],
  'posts': *[_type == 'post'],
}
Things you will want to consider are (1) query complexity and speed and (2) the
bandwidth of each query, which (very probably) does increase in queries 2 and 3 (compared to 1).
