+### Message Truncation
+
+<Since version="5.0" issueNumber="MDL-84342" />
+
+The SMS API automatically truncates messages that exceed the maximum allowed length before sending.
+
+This is handled by the `truncate_message()` method, which ensures that messages comply with the defined length limit.
+
+The default maximum length is defined in the gateway root class, but it can be modified or overridden by any class that extends it.
+
+Additionally, the `truncate_message()` method itself can be overridden to implement custom truncation logic.
+
 ## Fetching messages
 
 Every sent message is stored in the database to support status checks, and for subsequent reporting.
