Did the child tax credit go from $2000 to $500 for the 2019 filing year?

No. The maximum child tax credit is $2,000. Children with ITINs and other dependents that don't qualify for the $2,000, may instead be eligible for the $500 Credit for Other Dependents.

See the following TurboTax FAQ for all the requirements: What is the Child Tax Credit?
