It's per-file.

When I was running a 1440p monitor, screenshots usually ran into the upload file size limit. I would have to manually resize them. This was a hassle, so I started paying for Discord Nitro. I'm fine with it, I certainly get value from Discord.

50MB screenshot sounds excessive

Perhaps.

But the default 8 MB wasn't enough. 2560x1440 is 11 MB uncompressed. I run a 4K monitor now, and a 3840x2160 screenshot is nearly 25 MB.

hmmm, ok

dunno whats going on there but an iphone photo with 12MP (3024x4032) is clocking in at 2-3MB.

iirc windows started compressing screenshots by default with 98SE
