Of course, they won’t be the characters that you choose so they might not best represent what you wish your audience to see in the SERP’s.

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. Same with key words. And you are aware that your keywords are not shown in search engine results. Even though If you want to follow all character limitation rules, keep your Keywords length around 250 characters.
