PayloadTooLargeError: request entity too large

[siccifolium]

When I try to create a big document via the api I get an exception PayloadTooLargeError: request entity too large. By looking at the stacktrace which indicates the cause of this exception is a call to the body-parser middleware, I conclude that Payload is using the body-parser middleware which throws an exception when the body is too big. This limit however seems to be configurable when one has access to the code where the middleware is instantiated.

Is there an easy way to set this limit from outside of payload or do I have to create my own global api endpoint with all middleware deactivated? Are there other options?

Update:
I was able to set the json body size limit in the payload.config.ts by adding the following field:

express: {
  json: {
    limit: 1234, //Limit in bytes
  },
},
