# X_OUTBOUND_TOO_LARGE

## Means

an outbound HTTP response body passed its byte cap

## Typical cause

the response body passed outbound()'s maxBytes (default 16 MiB): the read was cancelled at the cap and nothing past it was held

## Fix

`outbound({ url, vendor, dial, deadlineMs, maxBytes: 64 * 1024 * 1024 })` to raise the cap, or `read: 'stream'` to consume the body in chunks
