It doesn't mention it, the amazon reviews did mention it may be too large. I tried to get chatgpt to give me the restrictions, of which i dont see a size restriction:

In the U.S., the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has specific rules for carrying power banks (also known as portable chargers) on airplanes. These rules are primarily focused on lithium-ion batteries, which most power banks use. Here are the key restrictions for carrying power banks in carry-on luggage:
Carry-On Only: Power banks must only be packed in carry-on luggage. They are not allowed in checked luggage due to fire risks associated with lithium-ion batteries.
Capacity Limits:
Power banks with a capacity of up to 100 watt-hours (Wh) or 27,000mAh are generally allowed without prior airline approval.
Power banks with capacities between 100Wh and 160Wh (27,000mAh to 43,200mAh) may be allowed, but you must obtain approval from the airline before bringing them on board.
Power banks with capacities over 160Wh are not allowed on board at all.
Quantity Limits:
You can bring multiple power banks, but airlines may limit the total number. Typically, you are allowed to carry two spare batteries that fall within the 100-160Wh range.
Labeling: The watt-hour (Wh) capacity of the power bank should be clearly marked on the device. If it's not marked, the airline may refuse to allow it on board.
Personal Use: Power banks must be for personal use only, and transporting large quantities of batteries for commercial purposes may be prohibited.
Maybe by "size" people mean capacity of which based on what chatgpt said, 50,000mAh (185Wh) is too high
