Probably it's running into a webserver limitation (either an nginx/apache setting or a php setting) that doesn't allow files larger than 10mb to be uploaded at all. So the validation doesn't get a file to validate basically.

10mb file validation problem
This is a strange problem for me. i'm validating file with max:5000 . Then i'm uploading a file of size 9,980kb it gives the error "Allowed file size is 5000" which is perfectly fine. but when im uploading a file of size 10,367kb (more then 10mb), it does give me error but like this "The std file failed to upload". I mean i have a custome message right there, but its not showing that on 10mb file,
$validator = Validator::make($request->all(),[
'std_file'=>['required','file','max:5000'],
],[
'std_file.required' => "Please Select a File to Upload",
'std_file.file' => "Invalid file type",
'std_file.max' => "Allowed file size is :max",
]);

But you see the error is from laravel . So the file is actually passing through with correct name "std_file". but laravel is not sending back custom message , that is what confusing me , and the PHP (max post size error) comes on 12mb file not on 10mb. also the max_post_size on php config is 40M. SO ITS ALL VERY CONFUSING

The upload becomes truncated if it exceeds the post_max_size and then some of the other content of the POST request gets left off. Results can be unpredictable.
Note that you need to allow for the file being base64 encoded also so will be larger in transmission than you see in the file size on your computer. (about +33%)

Make sure you create a page with phpInfo() and check the values that are in effect because you can have different results from CLI versus web

So u mean in base64 .Atleast data wont get truncated ? then i can just increase post_max_size?.
