Remote file exceeds 512 MiB read limit
This message means the remote file was treated as too large for an older ~512 MiB remote-read path.
Why this happens
The string still exists in error maps, but current builds usually enforce size with Remote file exceeds maximum upload size (tier + hard cap). If you still see this text (old build, cached map, or logs), treat it as “remote file too large for this import path.”
Diagnose and fix
1. Prefer the live checks: Users & limits → Max upload size (ul2_max_up_mb_*) and Mods → Upload hard cap (upload_hard_cap_gb).
2. Member: use a smaller remote file, or upload via Files / SFTP / direct node / CDN for large objects.
3. See also File exceeds 512 MiB remote upload limit for the related “use CDN or local staging” advice.
4. If only this old wording appears in logs with no user impact, you can ignore it as a legacy string.
