This is not an actual restriction, but an maximum limit that is raised. That means, that this only was one possible issue, that would forbid to upload bigger files. It was never meant in a way that quota for example does. And this setting will go once we have chunked upload in the web UI as well. It is only a technical limitation not a business logic.

The reason it work for you: in other configuration files (apache/php) this is set to a higher limit and therefor works.

Closing as non-issue.
