The server returned an error while sending the transaction.
Try connecting to another server or updating Electrum.

Transaction was rejected due to too large size (in bytes).
Reduced the amount to 0.0001BTC . all that more does not send!

What version of electrum are you running ?

And how many inputs/outputs does your transaction have ?
Can you create the transaction as you want it to be sent, then click on 'preview' please. How many inputs/outputs are there ? How large is the transaction (size) ?

That particular transaction is 10.9kB larger than the default maximum allowed transaction size which is 100,000 bytes.
There must be a lot of inputs included and the server you've connected to had rejected your transaction.

I guess you're sending all of your wallet's balance....?
But anyhow, try to remove some of the low-value inputs by displaying the Coins tab (View->Show Coins),
then freeze (right_click->freeze) the one's with very low amount to exclude them to your transaction.

Alternatively, you can select which inputs to spend from using CTRL+Left click to select (highlight) your preferred inputs then Right click->Spend.
Then the send tab will be displayed with those inputs already included.

This is an example! There are 10 Bitcoins on the wallet. Anything more than 10,000 satoshi does not allow sending due to bytes

The input's balance isn't relative to the size.
Whether a UTXO is 1BTC or 10,000sat, the size is almost the same (the difference will be too minimal to notice).
The number of inputs/outputs dictate the size.

Using the instruction above,
I suggest you to sort them by amount and make another transaction using the smaller inputs using a very small fee like 1sat/byte (consolidate (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2848987.0)).
If you're in a hurry and need to use high fee, spend from the high balanced ones and as much as possible, select fewer than 5 inputs for high fee transactions.

Check the total fee in your 2nd image  ;)

Thanks, sent! Through the Coins section

And this, boys and girls... is the exact reason why threads like this exist: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2848987.0

749 inputs to spend ~0.122 BTC Total (0.1 + fee) with a transaction size of 110K!!?! :o :o :o

Please, for the love of Satoshi... consolidate your "dust"! (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2848987.0)
