It is better when explained in examples what is wrong.

100MB file of attachment. I transfer such file and and the end I get the info
saying that sorry, but limit for attachment is 1MB.

The wished UI -- near the file entry in adding attachment page please show
label "Please note: the limit for file is XXX MB". This way I don't have to
upload 100MB just to know it is too much.

Of course if it would be possible to check the size, and the decide to upload the file it would be the best.

Usability bug -- I am setting it to minor, despite how annoying it is for users with poor connection.

Reproducible: Always

You cannot check the size of the file before it's uploaded, so this wouldn't work. But the limit note is a good idea.
