Hey Nick! Unfortunately I'm not super sure if anything has changed in the character count for guide steps, but I do have a suggestion for long links! 99% of the time you only need the content before a ? in a link, Amazon, and other sites use the "?" character to separate the URL from various tracking elements. Amazon also uses "/ref=" to track you and you can nix that as well. Amazon also offers shortened URLs via the Share menu
