Updater.phar resets upload size to 511 MB

First, let me say that despite the glitch described below, updater.phar is a great improvement in respect to the former update handling!

I used updater.phar for updating from -> to: 11.0.3.2 -> 12.0.0.29 -> 12.0.1.5 -> 12.0.2.0

Operating system and version (eg, Ubuntu 16.04): Debian 9.1

Apache or nginx version (eg, Apache 2.4.25): Apache/2.4.25 (Debian)

PHP version (eg, 5.6): 7.0.19-1

Is this the first time you’ve seen this error?: no, it happens in every update process (see above)

Can you reliably replicate it? (If so, please outline steps): yes, with every update process (see above)

The issue you are facing: the upload size is always reduced to 511 MB, my setup “3.5 GB” is overwritten with “511 MB”
