I am using an elastic cloud cluster. getting error:

```

Changing that would probably require you to get in contact with Elastic Cloud support. I would however start by looking into why you are sending such large requests. There is a reason the limit is in place as handling very large requests can consume a lot of resources and cause instability.

Don't think it can be updated on ECE at the moment.

> The EC/E proxy places its own limit of 200MB on traffic. This limit is not currently configurable This is in addition to any limit from max\_content\_length (which apart from the above is applied as you'd expect) The v2 proxy that is currently being tested and will in due time (no ETA!) replace the current one does not have that limit Alex
