Move exceeds maximum extrusion
I am getting the error message "Move exceeds maximum extrusion (0.361mm^2 vs 0.080mm^2)
See the 'max_extrude_cross_section' config option for details"
I have just changed from a 0.6mm nozzle to a 0.25 mm nozzle. I get this error immediately after printing the prime blob I have changed the nozzle size in printer.cfg and I have changed the line width in Slicer. I have reduced the speed to 20% in Mainsail Not sure what to try next.

Why is it faster to change it manually instead of through the configurator?
Because you have to step through all the screens on the configurator.
..and it wants to check the version of your MCU board set up, etc.
I will often change nozzle sizes three or four times a day. So it is just quicker to do it in the printer.cfg file.
looking at the macro it should take into account the nozzle size, https://github.com/Rat-OS/RatOS-configurator/blob/bdffe0299685f3c223bad5a3c556e4afe9b1881e/configuration/macros/priming.cfg#L445-L467
Can you upload your debug.zip?
A side note for future readers (not OP): if you're using IDEX/VAOC, according to Mikkel, nozzle size changes need to be done via the configurator for VAOC to work properly.
Yes, attached.
the log doesn't contain the "Move exceeds maximum extrusion", can you grab it after you reproduce the error?
