# Request too large

_Wispist / Problems_

> HTTP 413 problem returned when a Wispist request body or document representation exceeds its configured byte allowance.

Canonical type:

```text
https://learn.peios.org/wispist/problems/request-too-large/
```

Status: `413 Content Too Large`. Browser code: `request_too_large`.

The request body or `data` representation exceeds the active collection limit. Wispist limits the body before decoding and allows only a small fixed amount beyond the document limit for the JSON envelope.

Reduce the document or split independent records into separate documents. A release may request a higher collection limit only up to the operator's host maximum.
