Reject oversized requests before they reach a provider with the request_size_limiter policy — by payload size and character count.

| Setting | Type | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
allowed_payload_size | int | 10 | Max body size, in size_unit. |
size_unit | enum | megabytes | bytes · kilobytes · megabytes. |

require_content_length | bool | false | Reject requests with no Content-Length. |
