HTTP 413·Publishing a paste

What it means

What happened

The text you are publishing is larger than the paste size limit.

Why

Why it might have happened

  • The paste has too many bytes, often because of logs, minified files, or repeated output.
  • Some characters use more than one byte, so the byte size can be larger than the character count.
Next steps

What you can try

  1. Trim the paste to the limit shown in the message.
  2. Split the content into several smaller pastes.
  3. Remove private or unnecessary sections before publishing.
