Normally if the maxlength is reached then you cannot type anymore. If JavaScript is disabled then this cannot be enforced and the value will be truncated when you submit the form, and a warning will inform you about this.
Maxlength applies only to textareas, or titles, you are editing in a form. If you are creating content programmatically, by aggregating RSS feeds for example, then Maxlength will not help at all.

sinmao commentedI was wondering if I'm using news aggregation. Was this automatically cut off text from the body when maxlength is reached.
