Problem Definition

Apps can set the content of a Confluence page to be larger than the 2MB limit.
When that happens, the page will not be rendered and an error will be presented instead and the request will fail with the following:

Exception querying the remote GraphQL service: io.atlassian.platform.micros.asynchttp.UnexpectedHttpStatusResponseException: Unexpected status code 413

Suggested Solution

Improve the app developer and user experience around this.

A few ideas here on how to improve it:

• improve the error handling of this condition
• prevent the size of the page to reach the limit which causes this issue at the rendering time

Notes

This behaviour does not affect the page in edit mode, the error only occurs when opening the page in view mode.

The new editor is affected, while the legacy editor was able to display the entire content of the page.

Workaround

Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available

Examples of impacted apps

Source Editor for Confluence

• Install the "Source Editor for Confluence" app
• Edit the Page Source via the app and paste a very long text in the textbox
