Body text at this size
And the smaller size most interfaces actually use for paragraphs — the size that decides whether a pair is usable.
Caption text, which almost nothing passes.
WCAG 2.1

Fails AA
Not AAA (7:1). Swapping the two colours gives the same number — the ratio does not know which is the text.

Clears Lc 15 — disabled or purely decorative text, which is not meant to be read.
Dark text on a lighter ground.

Above 10 — related only in the sense that both are colours.
What the text colour has to become
#980063 is the nearest colour of the same hue that passes AA on #54d905, at 4.50:1. Only the lightness moved, and some chroma was given up to stay inside sRGB — which is the point: your colour stays recognisably your colour.
And to someone missing a cone
protanopia
Ratio 3.44:1, ΔE00 69.4.
deuteranopia
Ratio 1.52:1, ΔE00 40.4.
tritanopia
Ratio 1.04:1, ΔE00 60.1.
The weakest of the three is deuteranopia, where the two are ΔE00 40.4 apart against 94.7 for a trichromat — still clearly two colours.
