With the
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Chunked_uploads
enabled, users can currently upload files up to 500MB, when using a
supported browser (e.g. a current Firefox or Chrome).
I think Daniel's question was about how to make this method work for a
bot too, i.e. via the API rather than in a browser.

I would assume given the previous reply that
regardless of upload method,
chunked or otherwise, there is still the hard limit of how big the
resultant file can be.

my bot[1] occasionally stumbles upon files that

thus does not upload them[2]. What do I have to do to get it set up
for handling these files too?
this looks like the relevant section:

I don't know the current settings; you might need to enable chunked uploads
in the MediaWiki prefs for the user you're uploading as.
