    Is it possible to modify the alt-text length?! Generally speak alt-text should be between 80 – 125 characters max https://www.a11y-collective.com/blog/alternative-text/ apparently screen readers cut off after 125 characters, and although it’s not a required length it would be a better experience.

    Finding the alt-text registers as too long when auditing using Wave and other testing tools. Thank you! Great Plugin.

    Hello! Just a heads up that as a solution to this, we’ve added our own hook to extend the prompt in register-image.php

    function limit_ai_alt_text_length( $ai_prompt, $attachment_id, $locale, $language ) {
    $ai_prompt .= "\n\nPlease ensure the alt text is no longer than 125 characters.";
    return $ai_prompt;
    }
    add_filter( 'acpl/ai_alt_generator/system_prompt', 'limit_ai_alt_text_length', 10, 4 );

    Thanks for reporting, and sorry for the late reply. I’ll add a default 125‑character limit in v3.0.0.
