Increase document size in Cloudant

I'm storing large amounts of JSON data in Cloudant. I see there is a request limit of 10mb and a document limit of 1mb from the docs

I'm needing to raise this limit but have been unsuccessful. I've tried retrieving a AuthSession by calling through curl to the _session endpoint and using the token to send via

curl -X PUT "https://cloudanthost.cloudantnosqldb.appdomain.cloud/_node/_local/_config/couchdb/max_document_size" \
-d "4294967296" \
--cookie "AuthSession=NzNmMTAyNTUtNTFiMy00MmFlLTk1MDItMmFmYmY3NjI5MjFmLWJsdWVtaXg6NUNDQ0RCMDc6rVSibzKdb2l2x0LFSQHhA9YmGc0" \
-H "X-CouchDB-WWW-Authenticate: Cookie" \
-H "Content-Type:application/x-www-form-urlencoded"

This returns 

{
  "error":"forbidden",
  "reason":"server_admin access is required for this request"
}

Has anyone has success in increasing these limits or is it blocked?

Sorry - that’s a hard limit that cannot be changed for good reasons. For optimal use of Cloudant, stick to small documents. Needing larger than the limit documents points to a data model issue, or that Cloudant isn’t a good fit for your use case.
