What might happen if a request exceeds the maximum file size?

If a request exceeds the maximum file size limit established by the system, it is likely to be automatically rejected. Systems often have predefined thresholds for file sizes to ensure optimal performance, security, and data integrity. When a request surpasses these limits, the automated processes in place will identify this issue and take action, which typically involves rejecting the request outright to prevent potential overload or problems with processing.

In contrast to this, if the request were to proceed while exceeding the file size, it could lead to significant complications, such as corrupting data or causing processing errors. The system is designed to maintain efficiency and reliability, and rejecting requests that exceed file size limits is a protective measure to uphold these standards. Maintaining such thresholds also helps in managing resources effectively within the system.
