That is not a bug. Windows Phones work that way.

You will need to use WiFi to download large size apps. If you do not have WiFi at home or work, you will need to visit a cafe, library or restaurant that has a public WiFi network.

so it isn't just you who experienced this. I can download apps of over up to 100MB and then after Cyan update, i can't. and yes only 19MB apps and below can be downloaded via Cellular data. Why is this happening?

I'm guessing it's some sort of protection they implemented so you don't overuse your cellular data. I'm not sure if this will work but go to Settings/Applications/Store and turn off Update Apps on Wi-Fi Only. See if that does anything.
