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
