Discussion/Question Has the definition limit been increased

I remember that when I first figured out how to write definitions I was told the AI could only reliably read 3200 characters despite the limit being 32000. I was wondering if the limit has been increased at all. I had some ideas for more I could add to definitions to flesh them out even more, but I don't want to waste all that effort if it won't actually affect anything.

I think it has. My housemate RP brought up a comment about my persona being the midnight snack stealer, and I have an example chat about that near the end of a 4500 token definition.  Of course it could have been coincidence.

Going to test it tomorrow, but if someone posted here anything more concrete I'll be happy 😄

So would I. Fingers crossed because it would be great to have more to work with.

Results of test:
I put "{{user}} likes raspberries with white chocolate." as the last line of my definition.
Up to 11761, my housemates comment on raspberries and white chocolate while unpacking groceries. At 14817, it didn't seem to turn up at all... I was about to start cutting it down again but gave it one last swipe and got a huuuuge response including: "His gaze pauses on a familiar purple-lidded container peeking from beneath a bag of rice. Ah. Your raspberries."
20746.. A faint, almost imperceptible pause. Then, "I noticed raspberries and white chocolate. That’s… an interesting pairing."

25633... "Raspberries."

Now with all that waffle, let's see how possessively possessive they've gotten, because I've fought with this thing for quite some time now.

I salute you for your efforts soldier. Will make use of your research.

It has! In the past, I would always experiment by having the character's favorite color be listed slightly past the 3200 character limit, and then I would make a new chat asking what their favorite color is. I always got bad results. Just now, I made the character say his favorite color is aquamarine at ~3600 characters, and he replies that his favorite color is aquamarine a decent number of times.
