Thanks for the reply. My chunking helps because the large message contains a lot of timeseries for forecasting, and if they exceed they maximum size I can split them and send them in several messages instead of in a single one. Increasing the max size is not possible because my service crashes with larger messages, so the only way here is to send messages lower than the current maximum size. The problem is that when I check the message size before sending it I get a size that should be good, but then I get a Status.RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED with a different size than the one I checked with before.
