413 Payload Too Large when uploading files from deployed frontend (works locally)

Hi Railway team,
I’m encountering a 413 Payload Too Large error when uploading large files to my Railway backend only in production.
Details:
- Backend hosted on Railway
- Frontend works correctly from localhost → Railway backend with same files.
- When frontend is deployed and hits the same Railway backend, file upload returns 413
- Small requests work; only large file uploads fail
- Backend logs show the request does not reach the application when uploading large files.
This makes me suspect a proxy or request body size limit on the Railway edge or runtime.
Could you please confirm:
- Whether Railway enforces request/body size limits for incoming uploads
- If so, what the current limits are and whether they’re configurable
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Awa
