      SERVER-62906 added a limitation to the number of characters in collection names for sharded collections. This seems to be an arbitrary limit, a long time ago, collection names were limited to 120 characters due to MMAPv1 in Windows, but this was removed by SERVER-41694, and it does not seems to be necessary anymore. Additionally, now that we'll be tracking unsharded collections, we should not have this limit. There are a couple of places where there is this restriction:

      The purpose of this ticket is to first investigate the impact of removing this limit, and then removing it, achieving untracked collection parity in collection name limit.
