## I have read the
[CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/supabase/supabase/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md)
file.
YES
## What kind of change does this PR introduce?
Docs update.
## What is the current behavior?
Both the "Edge Function bundle size issues" troubleshooting page and the
Edge Functions "Limits" page stated only a single **20 MB** limit. In
practice, that 20 MB figure applies only to **local bundling** with the
Supabase CLI. When a function is deployed via the **Management API or
Dashboard**, bundling runs server-side and is capped at **5 MB** due to
an infrastructure (Lambda) limit. Customers deploying that way were
surprised to hit an error like `Function source code exceeds the maximum
deployment size (5 MB). Reduce the size of your function and try again.`
even though the docs implied 20 MB was available.
## What is the new behavior?
Both pages now state the distinction explicitly:
- **Local bundling (Supabase CLI):** up to **20 MB**.
- **Server-side bundling (Management API or Dashboard):** up to **5
MB**.
The troubleshooting page also adds a "Deploying larger functions"
section pointing customers at the workaround: if a function is under 20
MB but over the 5 MB server-side limit, bundle it locally by running
`supabase functions deploy` with the `--use-docker` flag to force local
bundling and get the higher limit.
## Additional context
**How / files changed:**
-
`apps/docs/content/troubleshooting/edge-function-bundle-size-issues.mdx`
— rewrote the intro to describe both limits, added the "Deploying larger
functions" workaround section, and fixed the frontmatter `keywords`
(replaced `"10MB"` with `"5MB"` and `"20MB"`).
- `apps/docs/content/guides/functions/limits.mdx` — updated the "Maximum
Function Size" line to list both the 20 MB local and 5 MB server-side
limits.
Before, both pages said only 20 MB, so customers deploying via the
API/Dashboard were surprised by a 5 MB error; after, both pages state
the 5 MB server-side vs 20 MB local distinction and point to local
bundling as the workaround.
