I have a paid account with MS Copilot through my employer and the AI is still limiting my file capacity to 1MB uploads. According to the post linked above, MS has no updates planned to address this issue. this has been an issue since June of last year, as evident from the following links.

Does anyone have a workaround since MS doesn't want to address the problem?
