The Dubner magid has problems with this as the moon was complaining that he is saying something good. Asking for making the sun smaller is not good. The sun was originally created greater than the moon. Hashem saw that people were not worthy of it, so he hid the extra light in the Torah. Now they became equal, so the moon wanted that Hashem should return the light to the sun and that was a nice thing. So Hashem convinced the moon that it is good to be small and Hashem felt bad that He made the moon smaller but at the redemption the light will be returned.
