No, that's the point, you'd never know whether they only validate a subset of the password. Only by testing different variations you would know that less than the whole string still works.
It's a common enough to safely assume i'd guess. I've heard many users complain about it despite not me experiencing it myself. They probably didn't try every single variation of the password but maybe it's an infamous bug for many services?
I wouldn't speculate on how common it is but limiting passwords seems to happen more than it should. So maybe many are taking the stealth approach.
One site I know where this happens (at least I experienced it some years ago) was Blizzard. Found out by sheer luck after I clearly fumbled the end of my password and was logged in regardless.
Jesus, worth $60 billion, and can't even store passwords properly? lmao
I wouldn't know whether to feel relieved after the panic of realizing not being able to log in, or being disappointed of how shit the code is lol
