Payload too large

payload_too_large

The request body is larger than this endpoint accepts.

What this means​

The body, or a file sent with it, is over the size limit for the endpoint.

How to fix it​

Send less in one request: split the change into smaller requests, or reduce the size of the file.

Retry behavior​

Sending the same body again gets the same answer.

How it appears in the response​

ComputeSphere returns errors as RFC 7807 Problem Details. The type field is the docs URL for this page — switch on code in your client.
