Post excerpt symbol count is wrong

Hi guys,
so we’ re trying to use post teaser elements (mostly the flex 1-3) to showcase our articles.
All of them are set to 150 letters max. – unfortunately the teaser elements show in their excerpts longer texts.
Is that a common problem? How can I force the teaser to remain a certain max-length?

Thank you

Hi there,

Here are the Settings in Themepanel:

Settings in the Flex 1 Element:

How the Flex 1 Element displays it: (Set to 150 letters, shos 287)

Set to even only 10 letters: shows no change:

Here is where we input our excerpt:

We have the following issue:
If we dont use the textexcerpt box from WordPress the letter count is correct in the excerpt. But then we wont be able to use the “subtitle”-Element in our Articles. Therefore we are in the need that also the flex-Elements force the excerpt to 150 letters- no matter if there is a manual textexcerpt.

Thanks!
