How to solve this compressed data size specified in a packet header exceeds limit error?

I got the below error when using the portal to automatically update, I have no idea what I should do. Can someone assist?

With compression algorithm, the compressed data size specified in a packet header exceeds limit of 8.5 MB. Please reduce the size of column data values within the transformed result-set to below 8.5 MB.

As solution you will have to modify your query to reduce the data, and this experience is a design limitation.
