Hi sevenhills,
In SQL Server Management Studio, connect to your Power BI Report Server instance, right click this instance, open its server properties, there is a MaxFileSizeMb property under Advanced tab that allows you to limit the file size uploaded to report server.
But it seems that the maximum file size is 100MB.
Reference: Setting a maximum file size in SQL Server 2016 Reporting Services

Thanks for the reply.
I hope they will change to 2GB. We are trying to host (pure) Excel files of size 200MB+ on the Power BI Report server.
