Hi

I use node-red, since 2019.  
I use node-red, to know the temperatures of frozen, and I use a lot of flows.  
Now, when I insert a node and I want to deploy, I receive an error. And I don't know who to repair  
I insert the message of error down  
"

Hi, welcome to the forum.

A quick search reveals the answer: [Search results for 'PayloadTooLargeError' - Node-RED Forum](https://discourse.nodered.org/search?q=PayloadTooLargeError)

In short, it is most likely your flow size is larger than the setting `apiMaxLength` in setting.js file.
