The request body is bigger than the server is willing to accept.

When you see it

File uploads, mostly. The limit is often set by a web server or proxy sitting in front of the application, which means the application never sees the request and cannot produce a friendlier message.

What to do about it

As a visitor, make the file smaller. If it is an image, the image compressor will usually get it under a limit without a visible quality change, and the image resizer helps when the dimensions are the problem. For a PDF, splitting it with the PDF splitter is often enough.

If you run the server, the limit is normally a single configuration value, but raising it means accepting larger uploads everywhere, so it is worth checking the limit is actually wrong before changing it.
