Research direction
The issue names no file or test. Start by locating where this library enforces the 256 KB SQS message limit, then compare that behavior with the linked AWS announcement; done means the library no longer treats 256 KB as the maximum.

Description
SQS upgraded the message limits to 1 MB from 256 KB in August 2025. Here is the announcement: https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2025/08/amazon-sqs-max-payload-size-1mib/. But this library still uses 256 KB as the limit.
