Based on documentation: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/analytics/implementation/vars/page-vars/events/event-serialization.html?lang=en

"Valid values are alpha-numeric characters up to 20 bytes in length. If you enter a value that is longer than 20 bytes, then the system truncates it to the first 20 bytes."

AEP size might differ but if you create an Analytics services integration in the datastream I would guess the same size limit will be applicable

Yes, I wish that Adobe would update serialization to take more than 20 characters, particularly since system GUIDs are so popular, and those are generally 36 characters, but could be longer...
