The Load Balancing feature is not supported in self-hosted (Docker) or Community Edition deployments of Dify—it's only available in the SaaS paid or enterprise editions. The UI is intentionally unresponsive for this feature in self-hosted setups, and enabling it via the database or environment variables won't make it functional. The 'context_size is required' error comes from backend validation, but even if you resolve it, the feature will remain unavailable in your environment. For advanced load balancing, you'll need to use the SaaS/enterprise edition, or set up an external reverse proxy like NGINX or HAProxy for basic distribution in self-hosted setups (sourcemoremore).

To reply, just mention @dosu.
