> - [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/31564) in GitLab 13.2.

When using [Project Import ](../user/project/settings/import_export.md ), the size of the decompressed project archive is limited to 10Gb.
If decompressed size exceeds this limit, `Decompressed archive size validation failed` error is returned.
## Enable/disable size validation
If you have a project with decompressed size exceeding this limit,
it is possible to disable the validation by turning off the
`validate_import_decompressed_archive_size` feature flag.

# Disable
Feature.disable(:validate_import_decompressed_archive_size)
# Enable
Feature.enable(:validate_import_decompressed_archive_size)
```
