Can you elaborate more on how this feature (your custom version of it) is used?

I've seen this used on several websites. Where the field itself has a character limit, so as you type (usually below the field) it shows you how many characters you have typed compared to the max you that are allowed. This would be very useful when taking the data that is typed in and inserting it into a database or another application that has a character restriction on specific fields. This would show the end user why they can't type any additional characters.

Currently, I use a combo of HTML and Javascript. I used the code from this LF Answers post, changing it as needed, to make it work for me: https://answers.laserfiche.com/questions/93224/How-could-I-add-a-counter-underneath-a-multiline-text-field-to-show-how-many-characters-the-user-has-remaining-before-they-reach-the-maximum-character-limit-of-that-field
