Short answer
The character limit indicator shows how many characters you have used and how many are available, directly within the Project Instructions editor.
Full explanation
Project Instructions define how AskTuring responds within a specific Project. When editing these instructions, you now see a character limit indicator displayed at the bottom of the editor.
The indicator updates in real time as you type, showing your current character count out of the total allowed limit, which is 10,000 characters. This makes it clear how much space you have left and prevents confusion or unexpected limits when saving your changes.
Because the indicator is always visible while editing, you can confidently adjust wording, add guidance, or shorten content without guessing whether you are close to the limit. This improves usability and reduces friction, especially when writing detailed or carefully structured instructions.
Tips
Use the indicator to balance clarity and brevity, especially in longer instructions.
If you approach the limit, review your instructions for repeated or unnecessary
You can paste your instructions into AskTuring AI Chat and ask it to shorten, rewrite, or clarify them while keeping the content within the character limit.
