Hi, In a scenario, I download a video file from my telegram bot. The file is 22,3MB. I get a “[400 Bad Request: file is too big]”. My core plan allows up to 100MB. Why do I get that error? ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/make/original/3X/1/5/15b55727744327046f366defe550b407e8a8e582.png) ---

This is not a Make issue. The file size limit (of 20MB), is enforced on Telegram’s end, and the error message you are seeing is sent from Telegram. Telegram is preventing you from getting files larger than this limit. For more information, see the [official Telegram API documentation](https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#getfile), where it says: > [![Screenshot 2025-06-02 000251](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/make/original/3X/0/1/0162fbafdeb57b39808b2ff0b33a2c3025f2ce7d.png)](https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#getfile) There are a few workarounds discussed here if you know some programming: [https://stackoverflow.com/q/76634829/584192](https://stackoverflow.com/q/76634829/584192) Hope this helps!
