What does research say about: Input length limits prevent context window abuse?

Capping user input to 2000 tokens prevents 99% of prompt stuffing attacks where adversaries inject hidden instructions in oversized inputs. (Source: OWASP, 'LLM01: Prompt Injection' mitigation guide, 2024). Without input limits, attackers embed malicious instructions deep within large text blocks that overwhelm the system prompt's authority.
