For future reference, what's the limit?

5MB is the hard limit. This is both for uploading images as well as image storage via the secure proxy.

Anything that's proxied by the image server has to be 5MB or less.

If it's an image, yes, it gets stored by the proxy in order to maintain a secure link.
