 This filter has the same parameters that the `opaAuthorizeRequest` filter has.
 
-A request's body is parsed up to a maximum size with a default of 1MB that can be configured via the `-open-policy-agent-max-request-body-size` command line argument. To avoid OOM errors due to too many concurrent authorized body requests, another flag `-open-policy-agent-max-memory-body-parsing` controls how much memory can be used across all requests with a default of 100MB. If in-flight requests that use body authorization exceed that limit, incoming requests that use the body will be rejected with an internal server error. The number of concurrent requests is <max-memory-body-parsing> / min(avg(<request content-length>), <max-request-body-size>), so if requests on average have 100KB and the maximum memory is set to 100MB, on average 1024 authorized requests can be processed concurrently.
