Erratum: 

Content is truncated

Originally reported by: 
Permalink

Some archived content is truncated due to fetch size limits imposed during crawling. This is necessary to handle infinite or exceptionally large data streams (e.g., radio streams). Prior to March 2025 (CC-MAIN-2025-13), the truncation threshold was 1 MiB. From the March 2025 crawl onwards, this limit has been increased to 5 MiB.

For more details, see our truncation analysis notebook.
