🐛 Bug Report: Multiple Create File Events for Chunked Uploads

[stnguyen90]

👟 Reproduction steps

1. Subscribe to files via Realtime API or create a Function that triggers on file creation
2. Create a file bigger than 5MB

👍 Expected behavior

1 event is triggered after the file is created.

👎 Actual Behavior

An event is triggered for each chunked upload. For example, I uploaded a 9.7MB file and got 2 realtime events:

1st:

I can't understand the use case of creating multiple events on chunked upload.

There is separate way of progress tracking. So, why are multiple events fired on chunked uploads.

[stnguyen90]

@ajitsinghkaler each API triggers an event when it executes successfully. The create file API is called for each chunk.
