I looked around for a way to query AFC sub fields and I finnaly found a way. This is mostly for date fields, but I guess you can use this example for other

This will search the post type events for the field dates which has a sub field called when.

$field = 'dates_0_when';
$events_query = new WP_Query( [
    'posts_per_page'    => -1,
    'post_type'         => 'events',
    'order'             => 'ASC',
    'orderby'           => 'meta_value',
    'meta_key'          => $field,
    'meta_type'         => 'DATETIME'
] );

This displays how to search for posts between two date intervals:

// find date time now
$date_now = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
$time_now = strtotime($date_now);

// find date time 365 days from now
$time_next_week = strtotime('+365 day', $time_now);
$date_next_week = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', $time_next_week);

$field = 'dates_0_when';
$events_query = new WP_Query( [
'posts_per_page'    => -1,
    'post_type'         => 'events',
    'meta_query'        => array(
        array(
            'key'           => $field,
            'compare'       => 'BETWEEN',
            'value'         => array( $date_now, $date_next_week ),
            'type'          => 'DATETIME'
        )
    ),
    'order'             => 'ASC',
    'orderby'           => 'meta_value',
    'meta_key'          => $field,
    'meta_type'         => 'DATETIME'
] );
