## What the `detail` says

The `detail` explains the occurrence; it can read, for example:

- The request body is too large.
- The request body must not be larger than … bytes.

## Handling it

Send a smaller body.

## Example

```json
{
  "type": "https://docs.nexafone.so/errors/payload_too_large",
  "title": "Request Entity Too Large",
  "status": 413,
  "code": "payload_too_large",
  "detail": "The request body is too large.",
  "requestId": "01J9Z8Q4TQ3W6M5V2X7Y8Z9A0B"
}
```

Match on `code`, never on `detail`: the wording may change. See [Problem Details](/v1/errors/).
