Hello Elasticsearch community,

I'm encountering a 413 error when working with a dashboard containing multiple panels in Kibana. I've attempted to resolve this by modifying the `server.maxPayload` setting. According to the documentation [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/settings.html#server-maxPayload), I changed the setting from the default `1048576` to `8388608`.

Steps I followed:

1. Updated the Kibana setting `server.maxPayload` to `8388608`.
2. Confirmed the setting by describing the Kibana resource, which shows my updated value.
3. Noticed that the secret containing the full config displays the value in scientific notation: `maxPayload: 8.388608e+06`.

Despite these changes, the issue persists, and when I debug the POST request via the browser's developer tools, the request body is still truncated to 1048576 characters.

Additional environment details:

- I'm using the ECK Operator version 2.15.0.
- Elasticsearch and Kibana versions both are 8.15.1.

Could anyone suggest what I should investigate next to resolve this error? Are there other configurations or elements I might be overlooking?

Thank you for your assistance!
