Well, bumped on it. PGP key upload always said it's too big, In spite of using their method to get the minimal key and tried to upload the same ...still the result is same. I do hope someone might look into that.

Sounds like a bug. Maybe you can report the issue you had here?: https://todo.sr.ht/%7Esircmpwn/git.sr.ht

It may be because, as in my case, you have a photo UID on the key. This can be many kilobytes; in my case it results in a key more than 600 KiB. You can temporarily delete photo UIDs and export it, and then refresh your key from a keyserver to get your UIDs and their signatures back. After all, encrypting email to you doesn't need photos anyway. For some unknown reason, '--export-options export-minimal' doesn't remove photos.

$ gpg --edit-key ...
(gpg) uid 3
(gpg) deluid
(gpg) save
$ gpg --export ...
$ gpg --refresh-keys ...
