# Enhanced handling of large quantities in the Carts API update endpoint

When handling requests with exceptionally large quantities (exceeding 1,000,000), the `update` endpoint of the Carts API previously capped the value to 1,000,000 and returned a `200/OK` status without notifying the user.

We have now modified this behavior. While the `update` endpoint will continue to limit the quantity to 1,000,000, it will also issue a `422/Unprocessable Entity` status alerting the API users to the adjustment.

The endpoint will not perform any additional quantity checks against inventory levels; this aspect remains consistent with previous functionality.
