We have submitted the source code for code review, and the file size is 400MB. However, we encountered an error stating “The request entity is too large.”.

May I know what is the maximum file size allowed for uploading the source code?

Whoa, you are building addon using 400MB of source code? That’s crazy 🙃  
How big is the final addon?

Are you zipping also whole “node\_modules” folder? Or what is so huge in your sorce code?

Note that you can use zip compression to reduce the file size.

According to [this page](https://extensionworkshop.com/documentation/publish/submitting-an-add-on/), it is 200MB.

What type of add-on is it?

Then there’s something seriously wrong with your addon.  
The [MetaMask](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ether-metamask/) XPI only has 20 MiB.

Is the file size you mentioned the size of your source code package, or the add-on itself?
