I'm trying to upload larger files to a PHP 8 app running on Azure App Service.
The instructions in the Microsoft Documentation for Azure App Service are referencing PHP 7 which used Apache, rather than the PHP 8 instances which use NGINX so they don't work.
I have tried adding client_max_body_size 100M; to the sites-available/default config file and restarted NGINX but no luck in getting it to work. The test file is 11MB, smaller files of 1MB work fine.

Unfortunately this didn't fix it, the instructions appear to be from the support article which is for the PHP7 / Apache Azure App Service rather than PHP8 / NGINX. I assume that linked support topic had something else in the user.ini file.

I'm facing the same problem, trying 1 solution at a time from every thread I can find online, still no success and am stuck at the 50MB limit.
Puzzling, how such basic functionality/configuration requirement can become so obfuscated in Azure...
And here's a good news - looks like I was finally able to chase down which of the couple dozen definitions of those variables actually take effect in WordPress hosted in Azure (Linux)!
It's this one:
/usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/uploads.ini
after making the changes, be sure to restart php-fpm process:
pkill php-fpm
and you can verify that changes took effect by running:
php -r "echo ini_get('upload_max_filesize');"
I hope this helps someone! I've spent way too much time chasing this down... ;)
