The maximum message size quota for incoming messages (65536) has been exceeded

Question

I get this exception while creating scope for few tables all those tables are huge in design

<bindings>
    <wsHttpBinding>
        <binding name="wsHttpBinding_ISyncServices" closeTimeout="00:10:00"
            openTimeout="00:10:00" receiveTimeout="00:10:00" sendTimeout="00:10:00"
            transactionFlow="false" hostNameComparisonMode="StrongWildcard"
            maxBufferPoolSize="2147483647" maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647">
            <readerQuotas maxDepth="32" maxStringContentLength="2147483647"
                maxArrayLength="2147483647" maxBytesPerRead="2147483647"
                maxNameTableCharCount="2147483647" />
            <reliableSession ordered="true" inactivityTimeout="00:10:00"
                enabled="false" />
            <security mode="Message">
                <transport clientCredentialType="Windows"
                    proxyCredentialType="None" realm="">
                    <extendedProtectionPolicy policyEnforcement="Never" />
                </transport>
                <message clientCredentialType="Windows"
                    negotiateServiceCredential="true" algorithmSuite="Default" />
            </security>
        </binding>
    </wsHttpBinding>
</bindings>

I have made MaxReceivedMessageSize to 2147483647 but still it is giving me below exception at this line

 client.GetTableDescription(scopeName, syncTable)

The maximum message size quota for incoming messages (65536) has been exceeded.
To increase the quota, use the MaxReceivedMessageSize property on the appropriate binding element.

As per this question's answer

You will want something like this:

<bindings>
     <basicHttpBinding>
         <binding name="basicHttp" allowCookies="true"
 maxReceivedMessageSize="20000000"
 maxBufferSize="20000000"
 maxBufferPoolSize="20000000">
             <readerQuotas maxDepth="32"
 maxArrayLength="200000000"
 maxStringContentLength="200000000"/>
         </binding>
     </basicHttpBinding> </bindings>

Please also read comments to the accepted answer there, those contain valuable input.

If you are using CustomBinding then you would rather need to make changes in httptransport element. Set it as

 <customBinding>
    <binding ...>
     ...
     <httpsTransport maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647"/>
    </binding>
 </customBinding>

I wish I could upvote this 100X. I wonder how many hours of my life WCF configuration has wasted. – McGuireV10 Sep 26 '19 at 13:57
yep, you saved me a ton of hours too – TSmith Aug 26 '20 at 15:10
I'm another very happy person after working on this error for two weeks. We had a BizTalk WCF Custom Behavior in C# that needed the binding-template.xml updated with this. – NealWalters May 14 '21 at 17:59

Updating the config didn't work for me, but I was able to edit the binding programmatically:

private YourAPIClient GetClient()
{
    Uri baseAddress = new Uri(APIURL);

    var binding = new BasicHttpBinding();
    binding.MaxReceivedMessageSize = 20000000;
    binding.MaxBufferSize = 20000000;
    binding.MaxBufferPoolSize = 20000000;
    binding.AllowCookies = true;

    var readerQuotas = new XmlDictionaryReaderQuotas();
    readerQuotas.MaxArrayLength = 20000000;
    readerQuotas.MaxStringContentLength = 20000000;
    readerQuotas.MaxDepth = 32;
    binding.ReaderQuotas = readerQuotas;

    if (baseAddress.Scheme.ToLower() == "https")
        binding.Security.Mode = BasicHttpSecurityMode.Transport;

    var client = new YourAPIClient(binding, new EndpointAddress(baseAddress));
    return client;
}

@Malky.Kid i created this client to call a .net based soap web service. — Praveen Tiwari, Sep 20 '17 at 05:25

You need to make the changes in the binding configuration (in the app.config file) on the SERVER and the CLIENT, or it will not take effect.

<system.serviceModel>
    <bindings>
        <basicHttpBinding>
            <binding maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647 " max...=... />
        </basicHttpBinding>
       </bindings>
</system.serviceModel>

But it's true. I've had the same problem, until I've changed setting on the client. Then it was OK. – FrenkyB Oct 30 '15 at 10:38

If anyone will have similar problem. I've set everything up on the WCF, but I was still receiving error message. On the client I've added code below and after that, it was OK. Thanks a lot @CarrieKendall. – FrenkyB Oct 30 '15 at 11:13

Same settings on server side with code: BasicHttpBinding bind01 = new BasicHttpBinding();bind01.Security.Mode = BasicHttpSecurityMode.None; bind01.Security.Transport.ClientCredentialType = HttpClientCredentialType.None;bind01.MaxReceivedMessageSize = int.MaxValue; bind01.MaxBufferPoolSize = int.MaxValue;bind01.MaxBufferSize = int.MaxValue; bind01.ReaderQuotas.MaxDepth = 32;bind01.ReaderQuotas.MaxArrayLength = int.MaxValue; bind01.ReaderQuotas.MaxStringContentLength = int.MaxValue;bind01.ReceiveTimeout = new TimeSpan(0, 10, 0); – FrenkyB Jun 28 '17 at 08:00
Adding maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647 " on the client side fixed my problem. Thank you – chosenOne Thabs Nov 30 '18 at 16:49
I created a simple webservice which returns a whole lot of records, and was getting this error. I tried applying the solution on the server, but that did not work, so I did as suggested, and changed WCF Test Client's config, and that did it. Instead of laughing, I tried it out. Just a thought – Ricardo Appleton Oct 16 '19 at 10:03
Thanks! I found the comment from @CarrieKendall a bit rude, but yours and the others made up for it :) – flayn Oct 28 '19 at 12:16

You also need to increase maxBufferSize. Also note that you might need to increase the readerQuotas.

Why is visual studio marking 'maxBufferSize' as non-allowed ? I have VS 2010. – FrenkyB Oct 30 '15 at 10:50

For future visitors: `maxBufferSize` must match `maxReceivedMessageSize`, otherwise it might throw an error. – AgentFire Nov 19 '16 at 16:14

This worked for me:

 Dim binding As New WebHttpBinding(WebHttpSecurityMode.Transport)
 binding.Security.Transport.ClientCredentialType = HttpClientCredentialType.None
 binding.MaxBufferSize = Integer.MaxValue
 binding.MaxReceivedMessageSize = Integer.MaxValue
 binding.MaxBufferPoolSize = Integer.MaxValue

For me, the settings in web.config / app.config were ignored. I ended up creating my binding manually, which solved the issue for me:

var httpBinding = new BasicHttpBinding()
{
    MaxBufferPoolSize = Int32.MaxValue,
    MaxBufferSize = Int32.MaxValue,
    MaxReceivedMessageSize = Int32.MaxValue,
    ReaderQuotas = new XmlDictionaryReaderQuotas()
    {
        MaxArrayLength = 200000000,
        MaxDepth = 32,
        MaxStringContentLength = 200000000
    }
};

My solution was to use the "-OutBuffer 2147483647" parameter in my query, which is part of the Common Parameters. PS C:> Get-Help about_CommonParameters -Full
