  Large Amounts: The most common cause of this error is that the amount being converted is too large, resulting in a value that exceeds the maximum limit for the target currency.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be issues with the currency configuration in the system, such as incorrect exchange rates or settings that do not accommodate large transactions.
