Answer 1

tried things from 10 different blogs and my coworker figured it out. we had to add a basicHttpsBinding section inside of in addition to the basicHttpBinding section. We have a webapi service calling wcf. the webapi method was catching the entity too large error when it called the wcf service method. This change was applied in the web.config file of the wcf service.
