title: Firebase error: Data requested exceeds the maximum size that can be accessed with a single request
body: <p>I need to <strong>export</strong> my <strong>Firabase</strong> database as <strong>JSON</strong> via the Firebase console, however when I do so I get the following message in the JSON file:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Data requested exceeds the maximum size that can be accessed with a
    single request</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>How can I fix this? </p>

  <p><strong>EDIT</strong>:</p>
  
  <p>I found this question that tried to access "too big" data from a Firebase client. I presume the two are related (Firebase limit). However I would have expected the Firebase console UI to provide that error message when exporting and ask the user whether or not to split the export in multiple files. I believe that this is a <strong>UX bug in the JSON Export functionality</strong> of the Firebase console (should be greyed out if not possible to export or should allow the user to tune the file size).</p>
