As written above in the article
“Google shows 69 Characters (Including Spaces) for Page Title” & “156 Characters (Including Spaces) for Meta Description.”. It does not mean that you can’t make longer title or meta description. You are free to keep your titles and descriptions in its limit or cross the limit. The main point is that Google will not show extra characters more than its fixed character limit.
