# too_large

HTTP status: 413

## What the API sends

```
{"error":"too_large","message":"This dump exceeds the import size limit."}
```

## When it happens

The `size_bytes` of the upload, or the dump itself when it is unpacked, is over the import limit.

## What to do

Make the dump smaller, for example without tables you can rebuild, then upload it again. See [Databases](/docs/databases#restore-from-a-dump).
