Hi Paul,
No, i've just tried this with a file size of 18Mb and still get the problem. I've now had reports this is happening on another list too.

Tom Hamilton Does it keep happening with the same (types of) files? Or will a file that fails to upload one time upload fine if you try again?
- Tom HamiltonNov 12, 2020Copper ContributorYes, sometimes a file will fail to upload and the next time it works, I've tried it with various file types too. With the form open I can see it creates the list item before giving me the error message.

Hi Tom Hamilton , may i know how did you manage to solve your issue in the end? I am facing same issues too - appreciate if you can share with me. Thank you!
- Tom HamiltonNov 02, 2021Copper ContributorHi, It has stopped happening yes. We replaced the SP Designer workflow with a Power Automate flow but I don't believe that prevented the errors. However we then added a Delay step of 2 minutes into the flow before all other steps and that seems to have worked. We've also since replaced IE with Chrome as our default browser which may have also had an effect.
