In hashcat mode -m 2600 (wpa/wpa2) passwordlength should be limited to 63 characters.
According to the 802.11i specification:
A pass-phrase is a sequence of between 8 and 63 ASCII-encoded characters. The limit of 63 comes from the desire to distinguish between a pass-phrase and a PSK displayed as 64 hexadecimal characters.
64 hexadecimal characters are only allowed for PSK
