Additional information
As I understand it, Obsidian does not have a strict, hard-coded character limit on the length of a footnote. Because Obsidian uses Markdown, footnotes can be quite long, I see no reason for a limitation like this.
Although there are practical limitations and best practices to consider, I believe Obsidian can and should provide for various use cases. In this specific case, I used footnotes for additional information and to provide context to a Bible study. The footnotes might contain a long citation comprising several consecutive verses. It is rather frustrating to be bogged down and limited to how many consecutive verses I can reference in a footnote.
