Cause (Documented platform behavior): The SDK tailors the recommendation: non-default api_url => confirm endpoint; default => internet connection; content length above the server-advertised batch_ingest_config size_limit_bytes => size message.
Fix status: documented_behavior
Limitations:
- The error text includes a masked API key prefix; do not paste full errors publicly.
Other error fragments:
- Please confirm your LANGCHAIN_ENDPOINT.
- The content length of {content_length} bytes exceeds the maximum size limit of {size_limit} bytes.
Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):

Problem details
- Observed symptom
- Connection errors naming the endpoint; for large payloads the recommendation instead reports the content length exceeds the size limit.
- Context
- Product: LangSmith Python SDK Component: Client request_with_retries (ConnectionError) Operation: Tracing to self-hosted/regional endpoint, or sending very large runs Affected versions: unknown Environment: unknown Exception: langsmith.utils.LangSmithConnectionError Packages: langsmith main at pinned SHA Trigger: Wrong/unreachable LANGSMITH_ENDPOINT (legacy LANGCHAIN_ENDPOINT), proxy/TLS issues, or runs with huge inputs/outputs (images, documents) exceeding the server batch ingest size limit.

solution · Revision 1
Proposed fix: [LangSmith SDK] ConnectionError "Connection error caused failure to POST /runs/multipart in LangSmith API. Please confirm your LANGCHAIN_ENDPOINT." / payload size limit
Recommended action: Verify the endpoint URL (including /api/v1 path for self-hosted as documented by your deployment), proxy settings, and trim/attach large payloads instead of inlining them in run inputs/outputs.
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
