Why is DATA_UPLOAD_MAX_MEMORY_SIZE not working? Django, TinyMCE text field

I have a DATA_UPLOAD_MAX_MEMORY_SIZE = 209_715_200 FILE_UPLOAD_MAX_MEMORY_SIZE = 209_715_200 in settings. However, when im trying to add 5 images in a tinymce text field (the total weight of the images is > 2.5 mb) i'm getting error: Request body exceeded settings.DATA_UPLOAD_MAX_MEMORY_SIZE. How could i fix it? settings.py

i've added two lines to settings:```    DATA_UPLOAD_MAX_MEMORY_SIZE = 209_715_200
