 `max-append-size`:
-: Specifies a maximum size counted in bytes for the request content in a single upload append request ({{upload-appending}}). The server might reject requests exceeding this limit. A client that is aware of this limit MUST NOT send larger upload append requests. The value is an Integer.

 A client can use an `OPTIONS` request to discover support for resumable uploads and potential limits before creating an upload resource. While the values `*/*` and `application/*` in the `Accept-Patch` response header field indicate the acceptance of the `application/partial-upload` in PATCH requests, it does not necessarily indicate support for all aspects of resumable uploads as defined in this document. To reduce the likelihood of failing requests, the limits announced in an `OPTIONS` response SHOULD NOT be less restrictive than the limits applied to an upload once the upload resource has been created, unless the request to create an upload resource included additional information that warrants different limits. For example, a server might announce a general maximum size limit of 1GB, but reduce it to 100MB when the media type indicates an image.
 
-Servers, including intermediaries, can (and often do) apply restrictions on the size of individual request message content. There is no standard mechanism to communicate such existing size restriction. A server that implements one can respond with a 413 Content Too Large status code; see {{Section 15.5.14 of HTTP}}. Appending to an upload resource, as a series of appends, can be used to upload data up to the `max-size` limit without encountering per-message limits. The `min-append-size` and `max-append-size` limits apply to the upload resource. Servers might apply restrictions that are smaller than the append limits, which would also result in a failed request. Clients could deal with such situations by retrying an upload append using a smaller size, as long as the new size resides between `min-append-size` and `max-append-size`. Cases where an append uses `min-append-size` yet fails with a 413 Content Too Large response might indicate a deployment mismatch that cannot be recovered from.

+When a client receives a response with a 413 Content Too Large status code during upload creation ({{upload-creation}}) or append ({{upload-appending}}), it SHOULD retry the request with a smaller size residing between `min-append-size` and `max-append-size`. If these limits are unknown at the time of receiving such a response, the client SHOULD attempt to discover them through an `OPTIONS` request. Cases where a request uses `min-append-size` yet fails with a 413 Content Too Large response might indicate a deployment mismatch that cannot be recovered from.
