Posting Live Photos exceeds size limit, won't post #113

Today I was taking some Live Photos off my deck of the wind bending trees over. I found one that looked nice, so I tried to post it. I got the error that the photo exceeded 10MB.

There's no way a still photo would have exceeded 10MB (right?) so I assume it was posted as a Live Photo. But Live Photos are only displayed as still photos, so there's little reason to post as a Live Photo.

If there was an option to post as a still photo, I'd have selected that. Even if it exceeded the size limit for other reasons, if there was an option to downsample the photo to under the server limit (do you know that limit?) that would have worked splendidly.

As is, I worked around the problem by opening the Live Photo in Photos and duplicating it as a still image. I think that supports that Tusker was trying to post the live data, but it could still be something else. I could very well be wrong here.

I know there are probably factors I'm missing, but I wanted to write this down so you'd have a chance to think about it and I could add any details I discover later.
