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 they interact:

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

So while the API application will accept up to 10 MB, the effective maximum in practice is **2 MB** because the gateway rejects anything larger first.
