Hitting node action limit, Convex recommends using V8 actions ??

Im getting this error on trying to upload file that requires me to use node action. Then convex throw me this error.

Node actions arguments size is too large. The maximum size is 5 MiB. Reduce the size of the arguments or consider using V8 actions instead, which have a 16 MiB limit.

There's no option for me to reduce the size. So what i V8 action ? How do i use it ?

I believe that means the Convex runtime (so the runtime an action would use without the "use node" directive). Maybe you could use the Convex runtime (that is, a V8 action) to store the file, and then kick off a node action which reads the file from storage and processes it in whatever way you'd like, and then deletes the original?
