I'm trying to change an lxc container size in new proxmox 4 on debian jessie. But there is no checkbox (which was in openvz containers) for changing a size from proxmox interface. Changing a size in lxc container configuration file and restarting the services won't help. Backing up a container and then restoring it doesn't give an option of changing a size as well.

According to proxmox forum, you can do this with command line :

pct resize <vmid> <disk> <size> [OPTIONS]

where disk is usually rootfs and size can use suffixes like 500G. More details in the help: pct help resize
