I think I must have something blocked that you don't, because I never get that (at least, not in the quick post box, so if you're going through the actual post page, your mileage may vary).
It definitely does it in the quick post box for me, but it's also worth noting that I'm still using the v13 skin (which is also why I can't upload pictures to GameFAQs). So it's entirely possible it works differently depending on which UI you're using.

Either way, the limit is like 4000ish (I can never remember if it's 4000 even or 4096, but thereabouts), so 1362 left is like 70%. Rookie. Numbers.
The limit is 7548. At least it is for me - this might be another case where the skin you're using alters the limit. So my earlier post was probably closer to 85% of max, once you factor in the formatting. The post was definitely over 6000 characters.

I just threw it into a Character Counter - it says it was 6382 characters, 1159 words, and 71 sentences. Though again that's ignoring formatting characters, so it was probably around 6500 characters long when I posted it. Which seems to jibe with what I was remembering.

Though I swear I remember the limit being closer to 10k at some point. So either they reduced it somewhere along the way, or I'm just having another old man moment (or vaguely remembering a different board).
Regardless,
everything
is rookie numbers for me at this point. Back in the "mid-oughties", I think my personal record for WALL O' TEXT was a post that had to be split up into
21
separate segments to bypass the limit. Which also helps explain why I had an AMP somewhere around 1000 at that point (at a time when I was only posting on PotD, and the purge rate on PotD was like
three days
). It was a sickness.
