My htaccess file keeps on getting deleted after I put it in the server, is this an error? if not then why do you only allow htaccess files to have a max of 1000 bytes

A large .htaccess file can negatively impact server performance which can slow down your website and the websites of others. So using large .htaccess files should be avoided in general.

1000 bytes is not a large .htaccess file and will not slow down a website.
Don’t argue with me because I don’t make those decisions.
I can assume that from a “website hosting” perspective there is no need for a larger .htaccess file unless it’s no longer a website but something much larger, and then that no longer falls under website hosting.
Whoever made that decision probably did some statistics and has a valid reason for specific file size limit.

Is this decision by infinityfree or ifastnet?

I see. It used to be 10KB, now it’s only 1KB
Actually it’s only accepting .htaccess files that are less than 400 bytes, is this really not an error? 400 bytes is incredibly low.
It should be limited to 10 kB.
There may be something in your .htaccess code that activates protection on the server and that is why the file was deleted…
Try experimenting with the content (delete some specific lines of codes).
