Summary

Updated Alert Manager payload size limits from a uniform 20 MB per region to 20,000,000 bytes (20 MB) for ca-central-1 and eu-central-1 regions, while keeping other regions at 20 bytes. Changed measurement unit from megabytes to bytes.

Security assessment

This change adjusts service quotas and clarifies units but contains no evidence of addressing security vulnerabilities or weaknesses. The payload size modification is a service limit adjustment without security implications.
