Increasing the payload size limit can potentially increase the risk of denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. Malicious actors could exploit a larger limit to flood your server with oversized requests, consuming resources and potentially causing downtime. Carefully consider the security implications before increasing the limit and implement rate limiting and other security measures.
