Technically 3 KB. In my experience codes above 1.5 KB become impossible to scan (ZXing scanner, 3 years ago). You will want to stay below 500 bytes for convenient scanning. That said, I'm convinced there is a lot of room for scanning improvements. > How much of the payment protocol message size comes from use of x509? As said in the OP, a minimal PR uses 50 bytes. X.509 seems to put about 4000 bytes on top of that. As you can see, we have quite some room for improvements to PR payload (PaymentDetails). X.509 certification will probably not be possible via QR, at least not until specialized CA's will issue space-efficient certs (using ECDSA?).
