RCS character limit?

[PlainDave]

I just installed the new RCS messenger app and I did a character limit test and it stopped at 9,999 characters. I'm just curious if any of you have found this same limit. It's no big deal - I don't plan on sending a text anywhere that long, but it still has peaked my curiosity.

This article seems to indicate the limit is 8,000 - https://lifehacker.com/whats-rcs-messaging-and-why-should-you-care-1832235783

8,000 per message, the equivalent of 160 Latin characters (or 8- Unicode characters) with SMS. But that doesn't stop you from sending 500 character texts. And the 8,000 limit won't stop you from sending War and Peace by RCS. (I think they just chose a limit that won't be hit until human beings get replaced.)
