Well, this is neither a bug nor a feature request. It is character counting working as expected, which is nevertheless quite stupid.

I’m not sure how it works exactly, but it seems like obsidian (md?) tables are essentially just a pattern of unique characters and HTML tags which Obsidian displays as a table. The problem is, those are counted in the status bar as characters. Therefore, I’ve got a document which is a single table, which while being pretty long, is not 130k characters long. Just a small QOL thing, I suppose.
