Better handling of the user status maximum character length
Problem to solve
We currently have a limit of 100 characters for the user status. This isn't apparent to users, and they are able to enter more than this amount of characters within this field. However, when they submit the status and it is over this character limit, the submission fails to update and they get a generic error message (when editing the status from the user menu
modal).
Note: We do provide a better error message when editing the status from the actual profile page, but this could still be improved by either providing help text for this field or limiting the amount of characters the user can enter.
The following discussion from !110683 (merged) should be addressed:

@nickbrandt mentioned in a discussion: (+2 comments) One question I do have for this is do we have some sort of max character limit for this field (it's not seeming so)? I've noticed that if I try and use something very long I get an error message and it's unable to update the status.
