Request size limit

We're hoping to use Retool to allow some of our team members to upload media (photos, videos) to our servers. However, we're running into a "413 Request Entity Too Large" error uploading a video (59MB). What's the limit?

Hi @dickfickling thanks for posting! Do @ben 's comments on this post answer your question?

The max body size for requests in Retool hosted (cloud) instances is 40MB.

For on-premise installations, there isn't a max body size. This is limit is applied at the networking level (I believe the nginx default is 1 MB), so if you're using a load balancer or a proxy, I would check and see if the limit is being applied there.
