The hard limit and the fold
Every platform has a hard limit you cannot go over. Many also have a fold: the point in the feed where the post is cut with "more" or "see more". The violet mark on each bar shows the fold where we know it.
Fold points are approximate because they depend on screen size and line breaks.
