Users exceed character limits then face truncation errors. This React textarea shows 0/500 counter using InputGroupText at block-end with maxLength prop preventing over-typing. Built with shadcn/ui InputGroup with border-t separator and ml-auto positioning, it's perfect for tweet composers, bio fields, comment forms, feedback boxes, or any character-limited textarea where users need ongoing awareness of remaining space to avoid exceeding constraints and losing content.
