SSL certificate verify failed on upload of 6.6 GiB file

I uploaded a 6.6 GiB file and after some time I got this error:

I don't know if the file was uploaded correctly, but the time was long enough to expect an upload to complete. The glacier archive list command doesn't show the file.

I have previously used glacier archive retrieve and glacier vault sync on this system, and they do not return an error.

EDIT: I uploaded a 1.2 GiB file and didn't get an error. The smaller file is listed with glacier archive list.

The 6.6 GiB was a tarball that contained some redundant files. I removed the redundant files, the resulting file was 2.6 GiB. I was able to upload the smaller file.
So probably the error only occurs with very large files, but I wouldn't be able to determine the cut-off size, and the issue is no longer relevant for me personally. But maybe others will have the same issue.

I believe the max size per archive is 4GB:
