does the 400 character limits for file url length cover the site url and list url?

Question

Inside SharePoint limitation @ https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office365/servicedescriptions/sharepoint-online-service-descriptio... it is mentioned that file path can only be 400 characters, does this include the tenant, site and library URLs?

Hi @john john Pter,

Thank you for posting in this community.

The 400-character limit includes the length of your site name, document library name, folders, and file. It does not count the characters in the domain/tenant name.

For example, if the folder/document URL is

crescent.sharepoint.com/ sites/accounting/Shared Documents/Folder A/Document 123, it only counts the characters highlighted in BOLD above (starting with sites).
