If more than 10KB are sent, all cookies are dropped and the request is processed as if no cookies were sent. The header `"X-Cookies-Dropped: 1"` is added to truncated requests and responses. You can ignore this scenario in your PHP code or handle it by displaying a custom error page. +If the total size of cookies in the `"Cookie: ..."` header exceeds 10KB, Pantheon discards all cookies and processes the request as if no cookies were sent.

You can ignore this behavior in your application code or display a custom error page. -This response can also occur on Drupal 8 sites using the cacheability debug service, which can generate HTTP headers (for example, `X-Drupal-Cache-Tags` and `X-Drupal-Cache-Contexts`) that exceed size limits.

Pantheon adds routing headers automatically, so keep any additional headers to under 40 to avoid overflow. ### Pantheon 503 Database not Responding
