Heres is a link to a solution to your problem. It mentions using the variable attribute to limit the characters, such as, max_length=15

Character limit on variable

If you set the character limit, you won't need an error message, it will not allow them to enter more than 15 characters. Rather than make a script (which I wouldn't recommend since they can't exceed 15 characters, and it will require RegEx), you could add an Annotation (help text) that says that it will not accept more than 15 characters if you think they need to know the character limit.

Here is screenshots of how to set up the annotations 

Here is what it will look like on the form
