Is your feature request related to a problem?

Postman limits the size of stored response bodies to 300kb, and anything larger is not persisted and cannot be viewed in a collection run. Our use case frequently includes responses greater than this limit, and not being able to review them makes reviewing and composing tests for these requests more difficult.

There is a setting under Settings > General > Max Response size that allows the user to specify how large of a response body to download. Yet despite setting this value to 0 (no limit) or X MB, responses above 300kb are not persisted. (This may require a separate bug report)

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like for either:

  1. The Max Response Size setting to actually allow the user to inspect response bodies of a size they specify, or
  2. The default max response size limit in Postman Collection Runner to be increased, or
  3. Some combination of the two.

Describe alternatives you've considered

The Postman console has an even lower limit, at just 10kb, making this not a viable alternative. Presently, we have to test manually via the web browser and inspect the response bodies via Dev Tools Network tab.
