It's also an almost-real situation (although I wasn't the library developer involved)
You can Google "YAMLException: The incoming YAML document exceeds the limit" - an error introduced in response to CVE-2022-38752 - to see what happens when a library introduces a new input size limit.
What happened in that case is: the updated library bumps their version from 1.31 to 1.32; then a downstream application updates their dependencies, passes all tests, and updates their version from 9.3.8.0 to 9.3.9.0
