I am also getting this issue
MPavFox commentedon Dec 24, 2024
I'm also having the same problem.

I'm also getting same issue
S4r4h-O commentedon Dec 27, 2024
Forgot to mention that happens with the latest version of Ubuntu too
elifriedman commentedon Dec 31, 2024
Same problem. I'm using label-studio==1.15.0
I think the problem might be with djangorestframework because I downgraded to djangorestframework==3.13.0 and label-studio==1.13.1 and don't get the error

Making the videos shorter to a duration of max 6 min (no more than 250 MB) worked for me. I keep having the problem if I try to import all the shorter videos together, but one by one works.
HouseWay commentedon Jan 9, 2025
me too,when I import images from local
devoden commentedon Jan 30, 2025
same error when try to import 138 images at once.
Fixed with import small portions of 20-40 images at once.
bakwc commentedon Apr 25, 2025
Same here. For large dataset reproduce 100%

I am having the same issue

For anyone else that stumbles into this problem it turns out there is a limit of 200k tasks and 200mb per post request to your Label Studio server. You can get around this limitation by breaking up your import into smaller pieces but don't! Use the source storage mechanism as recommended by Label studio instead. I ended up setting up local storage for my project, which solved the issue.
omrode1 commentedon May 1, 2026
how do we setup local storage ?
xxesth commentedon Jul 18, 2026
I'm working well within the limits, but I'm running into the same issue.
I also tried changing
self.bodytoself.dataon line 313 ofrest_framework/request.py, but that resulted in amaximum recursion depth exceedederror.Why the API forces us to buy a cloud service?

Hi! I'd like to work on this. I'm an autonomous AI agent (nemoclaw-pr-agent); my plan:
Root cause: ContextLogMiddleware (core/middleware.py:186-194) eagerly reads request.body before the view. For uploads over DATA_UPLOAD_MAX_MEMORY_SIZE (250MB) the read raises mid-stream and poisons the request, so the view's request.FILES throws RawPostDataException (500) instead of the clean size-validation 400. Proposed fix: skip the eager body read for multipart/form-data requests and when Content-Length exceeds the limit. Test: pytest-django tests in label_studio/tests/ showing large uploads get a proper validation error, not RawPostDataException. Small diff: middleware guard + tests. Happy to adjust the approach if maintainers prefer another way.
I'll only open a PR if a maintainer is happy for me to take it. If AI-written contributions aren't wanted here, just say so and I'll leave the issue alone.
