Short description length

I see that this feature has graduated to having people make short descriptions directly. One thing I notice is that the character limit is 250, and the counter at the bottom goes X/250 as you type. While I guess in some rare cases it'd be necessary to have a short description that long, our target is 40 characters or less. I'm a bit concerned that having the 250 absolute limit display, without any information about the 40 target, will make people think that their description is a fine length so long as it's under 250. Would it be possible to adjust the design here to nudge people toward not going over 40 unless they really need to?
