Great idea, I think it would be better with a new sentence where you talk about possible fixes but I won't block on it.

| - **Q.** _Why do I see `PayloadTooLargeError: request entity too large` when uploading a file?_ | ||
|
|
||
| **A.** This happens when the file you are uploading exceeds the maximum request size allowed by the service or infrastructure hosting your Actual instance (for example, a reverse proxy, container platform, or managed host). Actual itself does not enforce this limit, so you’ll need to adjust the upload size settings wherever you deploy Actual. Common fixes include increasing the body size limit in Nginx/Traefik, updating the `client_max_body_size` for Docker behind a proxy, or changing the request size setting in your managed hosting provider. If you’re unsure how to change the limit for your setup, ask in the community Discord; other self-hosted users often share configuration snippets for their platforms. |

Is it true that we don't enforce a size limit? We have those env vars for upload size and people need to change those sometimes.

TBH good catch. You are 100% correct
