150 characters. The name field allows 64 and the username 30.

Why does an emoji count as more than one character?
Many emojis are built from several Unicode code points joined together (skin tones, families, flags). Counters differ on how they count them; this one counts code points, which is closer to how most platforms count. Leave a little headroom if you’re right at the limit.
