character limits

Post length restrictions

Character limits are restrictions on the number of letters, spaces, and symbols allowed in a text field.

Social media posts, text messages, and form inputs often impose character limits: Twitter's character limit is 280.

Writers learn to compress ideas to fit: I had to cut my bio to meet the character limit.
