Titles of commit messages should be short and concise, any extra information can go into the body of the commit. A common guideline is to have the title capped at 50 characters. If you work on the CLI, having a concise git log is far easier to skim than having very long commit messages and if I want to know more about the commit, I will check the body. It's also what a lot of websites use to truncate the title. From my experience, a few characters less do matter (which is also why I dropped conventional commits and just use "Add blah blah to blah", "Fix typo in user-facing message").
