Protocol Buffer serialization is limited to 2GiB payloads. This is due to
how sizes are encoded in the format and the runtime APIs.
See https://protobuf.dev/programming-guides/encoding/#size-limit

There are ways to encode longer payloads, but it requires extensive care.
If your payload is large because you have a list of smaller objects, then
you can serialize the individual objects on their own and use some other
way to pack them together.
