[Bug]: Pasting formatted content over the CharacterCount limit doesn't seem to work - content left blank

[tobewisebeforeiamold]

Which packages did you experience the bug in?

CharacterCount, react

What Tiptap version are you using?

2.1.15

What’s the bug you are facing?

When using CharacterCount.configure({ limit: 240 }) and attempting to paste in more than 240 characters that is not unformatted text from the clipboard, the input remains empty.

I can reproduce this in the "Usage" example on at the bottom of https://tiptap.dev/docs/editor/api/extensions/character-count#usage.

This page (https://tiptap.dev/blog/release-notes/new-character-count-extension) seems to indicate that this copy/paste behavior is a bug.

To Reproduce

1. Visit https://tiptap.dev/blog/release-notes/new-character-count-extension and select all of the paragraphs and ordered list from that page and copy it to your clipboard
2. Then visit https://tiptap.dev/docs/editor/api/extensions/character-count and scroll down to the "Usage" section
3. Paste in the text you copied into your clipboard into that example - see that the copy does not change; that the pasted content is rejected

What browser are you using?

Firefox

Code example

https://tiptap.dev/docs/editor/api/extensions/character-count#usage

What did you expect to happen?

If I configure CharacterCount to use a limit of 240 characters, and I paste in 250 characters, even if it's formatted, I would expect to see 240 of those 250 characters

Anything to add? (optional)

I'm facing this same problem. It's a bug in this part of the code:

https://github.com/ueberdosis/tiptap/blob/main/packages/extension-character-count/src/character-count.ts#L115C10-L119C81

In my case, I'm not pasting any complex node: I'm literally pasting a long text file that contains no format at all: it's coming with a .txt file with a lot of lines (which become paragraphs). In my case, tr.doc.content.size is 22730, while newSize is being calculated as 21516 (I'm working with a limit of 10000).

After deleting the amount of characters that are supposed to be over (11516), the remaining size is 10664.

To be honest, the behavior is pretty unintuitive.

i have the same problem（when i use insertContent with many nodes at once）；It would be best if it can be intercepted automatically
