It seems to be longer than 63206.

Associated with the Graph-API, here are the known limits:

Name:

{
  "error": {
    "message": "(#100) name parameter cannot be longer than 1000 characters.", 
    "type": "OAuthException", 
    "code": 100
  }
}

Title:

{
  "error": {
    "message": "(#100) caption parameter cannot be longer than 1000 characters.", 
    "type": "OAuthException", 
    "code": 100
  }
}

Link

{
  "error": {
    "message": "(#100) link too long", 
    "type": "OAuthException", 
    "code": 100
  }
}

If the message is a status update (that is, you do not include an attachment or link to an action), it can contain up to 420 characters. Otherwise, if the message contains a link to an attachment or action, the message can contain up to 10,000 characters.
