Why is the slot name for my Azure Web App getting truncated?

I am trying to create a slot for my Web App, but the URL is missing some of the expected name. In which scenarios would my Web App truncate or shorten the slot URL?

    One scenario where this would happen is if the slot name has over 40 characters. If the slot name exceeds this length, it will be trimmed.

    As an example, here is how the hostname would look for an ASE with a slot URL containing too many characters- “Trimmed Slot name” + “-“ + “Slot Name” + “ASE Suffix”.

    The only workaround for this would be to use a shorter slot name that is within the limit.
