What is the maximum request body size the API accepts? Check the docs in the workspace.
final reply
The docs give two different numbers, and both matter:

- **api-guide.md**: The API itself accepts request bodies up to **10 MB**; larger requests get a 413.
- **ops-runbook.md**: The gateway in front of the service enforces a **2 MB** limit, and anything larger never reaches the API.

So while the application's own limit is 10 MB, the effective maximum in the deployed environment is **2 MB** because the gateway rejects anything bigger first. You may want to reconcile these docs.
