Root Cause

The session data stored in the client-side cookie exceeds the browser's size limit (typically 4KB).

generic

中文

存储在客户端 cookie 中的会话数据超过了浏览器的大小限制（通常为 4KB）。

Workarounds

  1. 95% success 
    Use Flask-Session with Redis or a database backend.
  2. 85% success 
    Remove unnecessary keys from `session`.

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. 90% fail

    Browser limit is fixed; increasing server config doesn't help.

  2. 70% fail

    Flask's session is signed, not compressed; manual compression is complex.
