I am using the latest version of Open WebUI.
Installation Method
Docker
Open WebUI Version

I have read and followed all instructions in README.md.
I am using the latest version of both Open WebUI and Ollama.
I have included the browser console logs.
I have included the Docker container logs.
I have provided every relevant configuration, setting, and environment variable used in my setup.
I have clearly listed every relevant configuration, custom setting, environment variable, and command-line option that influences my setup (such as Docker Compose overrides, .env values, browser settings, authentication configurations, etc).
I have documented step-by-step reproduction instructions that are precise, sequential, and leave nothing to interpretation. My steps:
Start with the initial platform/version/OS and dependencies used,
Specify exact install/launch/configure commands,
List URLs visited, user input (incl. example values/emails/passwords if needed),
Describe all options and toggles enabled or changed,
Include any files or environmental changes,
Identify the expected and actual result at each stage,
Ensure any reasonably skilled user can follow and hit the same issue.
Expected Behavior
Individual file upload size is restricted ✅
Number of files uploaded is restricted ✅
Actual Behavior
Individual file upload size is restricted ✅
Number of files uploaded is restricted ❌
Steps to Reproduce
Install open-webui as a helm chart to a kubernetes cluster
I believe https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/d802c718a445f1e387417cf1b79ce4387d146a82 was intended to flush out the file count maximum restriction, which would in turn provide an mechanism for a simultaneous (albeit per-session) byte transfer limit. The underlying issue I hope to address is frequently crashes of the open-webui due to sudden and concurrent file uploads from my users - if there is another way to achieve this please provide some guidance.
