# The error `asset.size-exceeded`

**environment**: something the run needs is missing or different where it runs (a package, a file, a device, the network): the error names what to install, fetch or attach.

Where MIME gives it, with what its message says happened and what its action says to do (`{…}` is filled in from the experiment):

- in `mime/assets/_fetch.py`:
  - what happened: `{…} is declared as {…}, and no location served that size: {…}`
  - what to do: `check the reference's size and the locations ('mime assets list'); nothing was stored`
- in `mime/assets/_fetch.py`:
  - what happened: `{…} from {…} is larger than the {…} it may be, and the download was stopped there`
  - what to do: `check the address, and if the file is that large on purpose raise the limit: 'mime pull --max-bundle-bytes <bytes>'; nothing was stored`
- in `mime/saved/_pull.py`:
  - what happened: `the record states a bundle of {…}, over the {…} MIME takes without being told to`
  - what to do: `if the bundle is that large on purpose, raise the limit: 'mime pull --max-bundle-bytes <bytes>'`
