Make DataSizeLimitExceededError

Workaround available Web Updated October 21, 2026

Quick answer

DataSizeLimitExceededError is a fatal error tied to your plan's data transfer or file size limits; Make immediately disables the scenario regardless of the consecutive-errors setting. Reduce the data passed through the scenario or buy extra credits / upgrade.

Most likely fix: Check usage.

Symptoms

Scenario stops and is switched off immediately with DataSizeLimitExceededError; large files fail to upload or download.

Why it happens

  • Monthly data transfer allowance exhausted (5 GB per 10,000 credits)
  • File larger than the plan's max file size (5 MB Free, 100 MB Core, 250 MB Pro, 500 MB Teams)
  • Downloading full files when only metadata is needed

How to fix it

Try these in order — the most common fix is first.

  1. 1. Check usage

    1. Open Organization > Subscription / usage
    2. Check data transfer against the plan allowance

  2. 2. Move less data

    1. Pass file URLs instead of downloading file contents
    2. Filter out unneeded bundles early
    3. Avoid downloading large attachments you don't use

  3. 3. Buy credits or upgrade

    1. Purchase extra credits (data transfer scales with credits)
    2. Or move to a plan with a higher file size limit

  4. 4. Re-enable the scenario

    1. After fixing the cause, switch the scenario toggle back ON
