What's the limit on the length of a post?

Is there a limit on the length of a post (either question, answer, article, etc) on Codidact sites?

The current UI only shows this limit for comments, but not for posts - this is not a feature request to add something similar to posts, I just want to know what the limit is, if there are different limits per post type, if it's configurable per site, etc.

I also couldn't find this information in Help Center.


I've made a test in the dev server, and the limit for both questions and answers is 30000 characters:

test in dev server, limit is 30k chars

Is this limit set only there, or is the same on production sites? (I don't want to test here, to not run the risk to create a nonsense post, just to delete it afterwards).

Yes, there is a limit.

For both, questions and answers, there is a limit of 30000 characters.

If you tried to post a question or answer with more than 30000 characters, you will get the following error message:

Note: The dev server is same as production sites but the dev server may contain beta features that are not released yet.

Update: I have even tried here on Codidact Meta and I got the same above message.

"Is this limit set only there, or is the same on production sites?" It was his question. You can tell him that the limit is same everywhere

For me, the question was about if there is a limit or not, so my answer is "Yes, there is a limit". That is all.

Ok! He added that information. That's why I said it. Anyway, it's your post. I don't care :D

Anyway, I have updated it.
