Indeed, I had been confused by this documentation excerpt ([1]):
"CharField.max_length: The maximum length (in characters) of the
field. The max_length is enforced at the database level and in
Django's validation."

Now your clear and quick explanation makes sense.
Fortunately most of my data is validated through forms, so I only have
to be cautious about my own manipulations of models.

Thanks a lot.
