5MB -> 4MB body size limit (#26887)
This decreases the body size limit that triggers a warning from 5MB -> 4MB, which provides a little more wiggle room. Certain things like using base64 on body, headers, path, etc can cause the response to be larger than initially calculated.

# API Routes Body Size Limited to 4MB
#### Why This Error Occurred
API Routes are meant to respond quickly and are not intended to support responding with large amounts of data. The maximum size of responses is 4 MB.
#### Possible Ways to Fix It
Limit your API Route responses to less than 4 MB. If you need to support sending large files to the client, you should consider using a dedicated media host for those assets. See link below for suggestions.
