Apparently, Youtube is re-writing the rules again. There are several reasons this is being done, and they aren’t necessarily bad:

YouTube has set out its vision for the Partner Program to "pay even more to creators in 2027 than we did in 2026." The announced changes fall into two groups: one covers what happens if you're already earning, and the other covers what it now takes to get in the door. Knowing which one applies to your channel makes the rest of this update easier to follow.
If you're already in the Partner Program:
Long-form channels
Nothing changes. As YouTube's Renee Richie put it in a Creator Insider video, "if you have a long-form channel already in the YouTube Partner Program, nothing is changing for revenue sharing."
Shorts channels
You'll still need to maintain 10 million qualified Shorts views over a rolling 90 day window to keep earning ads and Premium revenue on Shorts. Falling short of 10 million views doesn't remove you from the program – or affect other earnings like Memberships and Supers – it just pauses Shorts payments until you cross the threshold again.
