APM Event Logger does not read Flask parameters

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

I am running a flask application with apm as an agent.

I have configured my app as the following initially:

app = Flask(__name__)
APM_DICTIONARY = {
            'SERVICE_NAME': 'MY_SERVICE_NAME' ,
            'SERVER_URL': 'MY_URL'
            'SECRET_TOKEN': 'MY_TOKEN'
}   
 app.config['ELASTIC_APM'] = APM_DICTIONARY
 apm.init_app(app)

So far everything worked fine, but on a particular function that has a bigger body than others this error happens:

elasticapm.transport.exceptions.TransportException: HTTP 400: {"accepted":69,"errors":[{"message":"event exceeded the permitted size."

So I checked for some documentation and i ended up Configuration | APM Python Agent Reference [6.x] | Elastic

I noticed the parameter API_REQUEST_SIZE and I started tuning it. I used respectively:
1mb, 10mb, 100mb, 1gb, 10gb and 100gb. None of them worked, and I'm quite sure the size of the whole body would hardly exceed the 1mb.
Then I also tried to tune the LOG_LEVEL as I do not really want apm to log every single event. So in the end my configuration looked as:

app = Flask(__name__)
APM_DICTIONARY = {
            'SERVICE_NAME': 'MY_SERVICE_NAME' ,
            'SERVER_URL': 'MY_URL'
            'SECRET_TOKEN': 'MY_TOKEN',
            'API_REQUEST_SIZE': '10gb',
            'LOG_LEVEL': 'error'
}   
 app.config['ELASTIC_APM'] = APM_DICTIONARY
 apm.init_app(app)

Though, whatever the LOG_LEVEL and the API_REQUEST_SIZE nothing seems to actually affect apm.

My first question is: how can I ensure that the parameters are not ignored? But mostly, how do I make apm not logging all the events, but only logging events when I want it through apm.capture_message?

On a side note, I noticed the following: APM agent crashes if the SQL query is too large · Issue #827 · elastic/apm-agent-python · GitHub
