Sometimes i need to send messages with logfiles as attachment. This resulted in an error message yesterday:

Connection closed with HTTP 413 (ntfy error 41301) (attachment_file_size_limit=15728640, attachment_total_size_remaining=2097152, error=attachment too large, or bandwidth limit reached, error_code=41301

This message is not understandable for me. The topic where I have sent a message can only be accessed by one user. The attachment sent along is 2.2MB in size. The following is set in server.yml:

attachment-total-size-limit: "5G"
attachment-file-size-limit: "15M"

At least I can find the 15MB in the error log under attachment_file_size_limit=15728640. If I increase attachment-total-size-limit, however, this does not change the output of attachment_total_size_remaining=2097152 in the log file. The value remains the same.

After a bit of trial and error, I ended up changing the values

visitor-attachment-total-size-limit: "3G"
visitor-attachment-daily-bandwidth-limit: "3G"

Now I can send the message. From my point of view, I would understand this as a bug, since the topic is not a visitor or public topic, but a closed topic for just this one user. Obviously attachment_total_size_remaining=2097152 refers to the newly set values (visitor-attachment-total-size-limit / visitor-attachment-daily-bandwidth-limit).

If this is not a bug, why does ntfy behave like this? Or is this rather a bug? When will the values be reset? attachment_total_size_remaining=2097152 has been unchanged for more than 2 days.

I have asked the same at https://matrix.to/#/!KQaqifczWbCaidLETg:matrix.org/$-ZfVNSIH8oYlPG4OWAU42HSu2hKTJ1htzn5fYjYs0PA?via=matrix.org&via=t2bot.io&via=tchncs.de
