I can’t upload files roughly over 2GB. Error file to large 413
Filesize limits in config/middlerware.js and extensions/upload/config.json are set to 100GB.

Error (log level on debug):

method: 'select',
options: {},

cancelOnTimeout: false,
bindings: [ 3, 'upload', 'upload', 'upload', true, 1 ],
__knexQueryUid: '04868608-5667-499e-8476-f794db231fbf',

 }

There is no nginx in between. I post the file directly from / to the localhost.

Upload config (app/extensions/upload/config/config.json):

{
  "enabled": true,
  "provider": "local",
  "providerOptions": {
    "sizeLimit": 858993459200
  },
  "actionOptions": {}
}

Middleware.js /app/config/middleware.js:

module.exports = {
  settings: {
    parser: {
      enabled: true,
      multipart: true,
      formLimit: '100gb', 
      jsonLimit: '100gb',
      formidable: {
        maxFileSize: 858993459200
      }
    }
  },
};

If anybody could give me any advice where this problem could originate from. Would help me very much.
Thank you

For anyone stumbling upon this. We had the problem that after 330 seconds the download stopped automatically because of a timeout. We searched for ages… this was the solution: in src/index.ts (or src/index.js), in the bootstrap function, set the strapi.server.httpServer.requestTimeout to a higher value:

bootstrap({ strapi }) {
    strapi.server.httpServer.requestTimeout = 30 * 60 * 1000; 
  },
