Uploading a 16mb file triggers 413 Payload Too Large (error code: 40005): Request entity too large

[illumi]

Uploading a file of 16643958 bytes using the following code results in 413 Payload Too Large (error code: 40005): Request entity too large.

file = discord.File(fp=file, filename=name, description=name) # file is a BytesIO
result = await ctx.respond(file=file)

According to the Discord File Attachments FAQ the max upload limit is 25mb so I'm a little confused why this would be the case. I have seen someone in the discord.py repo mention using the GCP pre-upload system but I can't seem to find reference to that in py-cord's api docs.

Does anyone have an idea why this error is happening with a file smaller than 25mb?

The faq is invalid / outdated. The file limit got lowered to 10 MiB. That's no bug on pycord side.

* 10 MiB, not MB

That explains it! Thanks for your help.

Furthermore the issue u link is not discord.py but discord.py-self.
It's a self bot version. Libs do not officially support gcp because of technical reasons.

Please do not take non-official stuff as reference
