Doesn’t it just give up on giving you suggestions after a certain size?

In my first example the suggestions stop at character 30. In my second example the suggestions stop at character 24. For a password that is all ‘a’s they stop at character 68.

I’d guess it stops making suggestions when it reaches a certain estimated strength. The suggestions are ways to reach that strength efficiently.
