The HTTP 413 Content Too Large response status code indicates that the request entity is larger than limits defined by server; the server might close the connection or return a {{HTTPHeader("Retry-After")}} header field.

Prior to RFC 9110 the response phrase for the status was Payload Too Large. That name is still widely used.
