# Technical limitations
## Request and file size
There is a common limitation on the size of the request size that can be sent to our API - 5MB. This includes any API service or endpoint unless stated differently.
{% hint style="warning" %}
Common request **size limitation is 5MB!**
{% endhint %}
When submitting a request where the body size or attached binary exceeds this limitation you will get a common error from Connect host:
{% hint style="info" %}
**HTTP status code 413 - Request Entity Too Large**
{% endhint %}
```xml
