File size too large -- but it isn't

See original GitHub issue

I’m trying to upload using the admin, and am getting

cloudinary.api.Error: File size too large. Got 28078738. Maximum is 10485760.

However, the file itself is only about 2MB. It has worked for the longest time and only recently have I seen this error. Thoughts?

yeah, normal size. very strange.

I’ve had some other problems related to recent Heroku build pack changes – everything kind of broke at once. so it might be related to that. closing for now since I can’t find anything wrong with this lib.

Ok, so this means yes 😃 I think the best would be to debug what file you get on your django server in upload method in storage you use. Check what file size is there. But I guess it is less that 10 mb as it would trigger Django error, not Cloudinary. Thats really weird I must admit.
