Description
Inputs with max character counts announcements can be interrupted by the form input typing update. This is probably because the default live-region is polite and the native form input updates take priority. An easy fix is to just announce the max character update in a setTimeout but are there other ways?
For example:

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating inputs with max character counts and reading how their live-region announcements interact with form input updates. The issue suggests a setTimeout but asks whether other approaches exist; done means the character-count announcements are no longer interrupted by typing updates.
