There is no limit.
Most search engines will truncate the description tag displaying no more than 200 characters so there is likely no reason to go higher. Also, meta data used to be a place where many people would stuff keywords (now, it's content stuffing). You *may* look like your keyword stuffing if you have too much information in the meta description.

hi,
it is better to make some limitation in writing the description. if your description is small and simple then it is acceptable for a better seo. better to have 250 characters with space

To avoid truncation by the search engines in their SERPs (Search Engine Results Pages), your meta description tag should be concise, within 140 to 200 characters. Truncation will vary depending on the search engine and the number of characters displayed in the search results.
