#  http.request.body.size 

`http.request.body.size` ` Number ` 

The total size of the HTTP request body (in bytes).

This field may have a value larger than the one returned by `len(http.request.body.raw)`, since the [http.request.body.raw](https://developers.cloudflare.com/ruleset-engine/rules-language/fields/reference/http.request.body.raw/) field only considers the request body up to a maximum size that varies according to your Cloudflare plan.

Requires a Cloudflare Enterprise plan.
