I havent used this option but from my settings.js file the default is commented out and is defined as an object. So im guessing

`httpServerOptions: { limit: '25mb' },`

no need for app.use or anything else .. i think it should apply for all middleware

**[EDIT]**

I see there is also an option in settings for `//apiMaxLength: '5mb',`

> The maximum size of HTTP request that will be accepted by the runtime api. Default: 5mb
