Is there a limit to the amount of characters in one question?

Question

Does it depend on the section? Does it include spaces? Please provide details. I want to know this because I’m currently writing a very long question in RMT and I want to know in advance, just in case anything dumb happens. (Which, considering that I’m me, is very likely).

Answer 1

12,000 characters, including spaces, in all sections.

You won't lose what you wrote if it's pushed back by the character limit.

Ok thanks. What I was really wondering not that if there was one but if it applied to a regular question you might ask or if it was something really big that no average question would hit.

99% of posts are nowhere near hitting this limit. If you're rubbing up against it, you're probably writing too much and should try to reduce it to the essential points.

Cool. I don’t think I’m anywhere close, either.

Just out of curiosity, have you ever had to shorten or split an answer because of the limit?

I've written 2 or 3 RMTs where the other half of my answer had to be a comment (mostly including stuff like "potential threats to this team" or smthing like that)

There is this https://pokemondb.net/pokebase/326249 which is 80% my writing. But I'm not too happy with that thread anymore and its wordiness is a major reason.
