+#### Content limits
+
+DockerHub has content limits, which if exceeded will result in the content being automatically truncated.
+The readme content is limited to 25,000 bytes, and `short-description` is limited to 100 characters.
+
 #### Specifying the file path
 
 The action assumes that there is a file called `README.md` located at the root of the repository.
