Friendly heads-up

So my experience with RNDR so far has not been very pleasant. Just wanna share my experience so someone else doesn't get burned. Two days ago i decided to render on RNDR cause i am on a tight schedule. The render finished pretty fast but i couldn't download my file. After contacting support, they concluded that the problem was the output file was too big and that was causing the error (I had a 32bit multilayer EXR).
They suggested that i disable multilayer and try again, and they would be willing to refund me for the scene. It was too late since i had already rendered the scene on my machine. So not only did i waste money, i wasted a whole workday, and i still didn't get a refund. So when you render on RNDR, try to keep your output files small i guess.

Hi,
what is the frame buffer dimension of the scene?

Please have a look at this Lua script for Standalone for splitting big frame buffer in tiles:

It was 2160x3840. The dimension was not the problem. The problem was the output file size. But thanks for the help and for the script.

You are welcome
But, if you reduce the frame buffer dimensions by half, the output file should be roughly 4x smaller

That is fine and all. Making the file size is not the problem here. The problem is me not knowing that there is a limitation to that and that if the file exceeds X amount i won't be able to download it.
Is there any warning about that? What is the point of spending money to render something if i can't download the rendered product?
