This can cause the operator to stop processing events and can lead to a backlog of events. This can cause the operator to become unresponsive and can lead to liveness probe failures and restarts of the Strimzi Kafka Topic Operator.

prequel-2025-0085 Medium Impact: 7/10 Mitigation: 5/10	Kafka message size limit exceeded	The Kafka producer encountered a \"Message size too large\" error when attempting to send a message to a Kafka broker. This occurs when a message exceeds the configured maximum message size limit on the broker. Kafka has configurable message size limits at both broker and producer levels to protect system stability and prevent resource exhaustion. When this limit is hit, the message is rejected and not stored in the topic.	Message Broker Errors	celery	Kafka Producer Error Configuration Issue
