This calculator reports JavaScript string length, which counts UTF-16 code units. Plain ASCII characters count as one, while some emoji and other characters use two code units. UTF-8 byte length is a separate measurement and may also be larger than the number of visible characters.
There is no fixed limit. Because counting happens locally in your browser, you can paste very large blocks of text and still get an instant count, limited only by your device's memory.
