The current maximum size I have set up is 200MB. Uploading a file that is less than 200MB works fine but anything above fails, as expected. The issue I have is that the user is then presented with the following message:

> Sorry, the file you are trying to upload is too big (maximum size is **10240kb** )

Nginx is properly configured at _200m_ and the `max image size kb` and `max attachment size kb` are both set to `200000`
