413 **Too large**

The request, or the file, is larger than the API takes in one call.

## When it happens

- A request's JSON over 1 MiB.
- A file over 5 GiB in one call.
- A file larger than the machine's disk can take.

## What to do

Send less at once: a big file in parts, or packed (`tar czf`); free space in the machine.

**Send it again?** Not unchanged.
