RS256 message too long for RSA public key size

[shobhitsrivastava]

I'm using a 256-bit private PEM to build a JWT with signing method RSA 256, similar to the example code:

signBytes, _ := ioutil.ReadFile(privKeyPath)
signKey, err := jwt.ParseRSAPrivateKeyFromPEM(signBytes)
token := jwt.NewWithClaims(jwt.SigningMethodRS256, middleware.CognitoAccessTokenClaim{
	CustomArray:  []string{"testString"},
	StandardClaims: jwt.StandardClaims{
	ExpiresAt: 1500,
	},
})
jwtString, err := token.SignedString(signKey)

When I try to sign the token, I'm getting the error crypto/rsa: message too long for RSA public key size. Does anyone know what could be causing this?

Not sure if still open, but it seams its related to #213 the rsa pem size it dosent have to be related to the signing method some how...
