Hi, I’m trying to upload the embeddings generated with a text-small openai embeddings model of the attached file but it fails with the following message:
{“code”=\>11,
“message”=\>“Error, message length too large: found 7355723 bytes, the limit is: 4194304 bytes”,
“details”=\>}
This is the file being vectorized:

Any ideas?

Just to check- is your index set to expect 1536 dimensions? You can look in the console for your project.

Yes it is set to that amount of dimensions.

Welcome to the Pincone community @admin15\[1\]
I’m not sure what “the same issue” means here, but here are some things to check:
- The chunk size - if you are parsing a file and upserting all chunks in one request, the payload may exceed the limit. Try to upsert in smaller batches.
- The metadata - there is a limit on the maximum size of metadata per record
To learn about all limits that apply, please see [Pinecone Database limits - Pinecone Docs](https://docs.pinecone.io/reference/api/database-limits)
