Originally created by @RSXEnthusiast on GitHub (Feb 10, 2026).

What happened?

I imported a file with nearly 4,500 transactions. It took a bit, but it did import, however, then the file refuses to sync to the server.

The same thing happens in Chromium based browsers, Firefox based browsers, and across Windows and Linux.

I would be willing to share my Actual Budget file directly with a developer, as well as the exported csv from my bank.

How can we reproduce the issue?

  1. Import file with thousands of transactions.
  2. View the "We had problems syncing your changes. Please report this as a bug by opening a GitHub issue" error.

Where are you hosting Actual?

NAS

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Firefox

Operating System

Linux

Does the browser console report that the file is too big? If so you need to adjust the env vars for file sizes in your server. It also could be a reverse proxy. NGINX has small allowed sizes by default for example

Damn, how did I fail to think of NGINX, I've fixed that issue before for other services! Increased the max client body size and it synced immediately. Thank you and sorry for wasting your time.
