Describe the Problem

Consider the following NFT contract

https://etherscan.io/address/0x036721e5a769cc48b3189efbb9cce4471e8a48b1#readContract

Try to get the tokenURI for token "12"

var uri = await contract.tokenURI(12)

You will receive the following error:
retuned result on length 108384 exceeding limit 100000

Code Snippet

var uri = await contract.tokenURI(12)

this doesn't look like ethers error, may be json rpc provider that you are using is setting such limits on response length.
have you tried with Infura provider?

I agree. It seems like a limitation of the backend? Moving to Q&A anyways, to continue discussion.
