What is the spec saying https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/input.html#attr-input-maxlength

> The maxlength attribute, when it applies, is a form control maxlength attribute.

Following https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/form-control-infrastructure.html#attr-fe-maxlength

> Constraint validation: If an element has a maximum allowed value length, its dirty value flag is true, its value was last changed by a user edit (as opposed to a change made by a script), and the JavaScript string length of the element's API value is greater than the element's maximum allowed value length, then the element is suffering from being too long.
> 
> User agents may prevent the user from causing the element's API value to be set to a value whose JavaScript string length is greater than the element's maximum allowed value length.

It doesn't seem a hard constraint, but
