The neat thing is that incoming bandwidth to AWS is free, so people upload 100's of megabytes and we only get billed for the 8MB we send back. (CPU time/cost to transcode is negligible).

Why the 8 MB limit? Is this a limit on Discord?

Yes. That's their free limit. If you pay $5/mo you get 50MB and $10/month gets you 100MB uploads. All of which seem like low limits to me, shrug.
