trouble to open big svg file

I am using illustrator to process my data, in form of vector file (svg). Usually Illustrator handles them very well, when files are small (typically some hundred kb). While a file is big, Illustrator has problem opening it, and only open a small part of whole trace (see the attached pictures). Wonder what is the problem, could anyone help to solve it?

( The original file: https://yalesecure.box.com/s/za3diaujs8g2tr3lvw8o1y2mlhapqp02 )

I am using Windows 12, and the illustrator is the up-to-date latest version.

Thank you very much!

What other formats besides .svg might you be able to generate in such as pdf or a bitmapped format and then use image trace if you want vector

I can't really tell from the image, but it looks like the tracing result is going beyond the maximum amount of anchor points allowed in a single path, which I think is 32,000. If there is a way to generate the trace with fewer points the entire object may come through.

Thank you Bobby. It seems as you described. I may reduce sampling frequency but at the same time I have to sacrifice a lot of details.

The file sharing service you've used wants me to sign up to something. Can you share the file some other way?
