## TL;DR

The batch is bigger than HubSpot's payload limit. Split it into smaller batches and retry.

## Error

```text
HubSpot 413: payload too large
```

## Steps

1. Split the batch into smaller chunks Expected: each chunk is under the limit.
2. Send the chunks sequentially Expected: all succeed.
3. Re-run the full import Expected: everything lands.
4. Cap batch sizes in the importer Expected: it cannot regress.

## When to use

- HubSpot 413 on batch import
- The payload is too big

## When not to use

- Small batches also fail (then check the property values)
- The error is 429 (then it is rate limiting, not size)

## Tool compatibility

- HubSpot batch APIs
- Contact imports

## Variant phrasings

### hubspot 413

Split the batch into smaller chunks.

### payload too large hubspot

Same: the batch exceeds the size limit.

## Why it happens

Agents batch aggressively to save calls. HubSpot's size limit bites before the record-count limit does.

## Edge cases

- Large property values inflate payloads; check those too
- Compression is not supported; chunk instead
