This is complete nonsense. There has not been any removal or change of any limit. There has been ongoing discussion about potentially removing a limit for weeks now. There has not been any new release of Bitcoin Core that implements any change of policy in months. No nodes are implementing anything automatically.

The removal is not yet live on the current mainnet version, but it is finalized and will be the default behavior once the next release is deployed this month on version 30.
Why are you spreading this misinformation? No policy changes have been merged regarding OP_RETURN in Bitcoin Core. Version 30 is not even scheduled for release for another 5 months.
New major versions are only released twice a year, in April and October. Even if the PR were merged, which it has not yet, it would not be released until Bitcoin Core 30.0 is released in October.
