Why is Copilot Pro not allowing files larger than 1 mb to be uploaded

I have a corporate account and just recently started getting the 1mb limit message. I don't have a separate Copilot license. We get our license through our licensing with Microsoft. It used to accept files bigger than 1mb. Can someone @microsoft please let us know if this is intended behavior, dependent on the organization, licensing?? Anything??? Microsoft - throw everyone here a bone and let us know what happened.

    Same situation here. A5 licenses across our board. Trying to demonstrate how Copilot can be used for organizational efficiency, but Copilot currently CANNOT:  

    - Accept a file upload larger than 1 mb (uselessly small file size restriction)
    - Accept an image or screenshot
    - Accept an external sharing link to a document
    - Accept more than one file attachment at a time (makes dividing documents larger than 1 mb into multiple files fairly useless / tedious as well)
    - Accept a compressed file format such as a .zip file

    As a result, I cannot honestly recommend using Copilot for AI-based file analysis when competing tools do not have these same restrictions.
