Specific Article Stopped Saving

I have a specific article that will no longer allow me to make any edits to, as without fail it always gives me the error message saying I'm either not connected to the internet or the article contains an invalid character. I've double check my internet by connecting to a different network and it still didn't work, and it's only this one specific article that will no longer save. My keyboard is just a standard desktop keyboard without any emojis or invalid characters, so I don't think that's the issue either. The issue became noticeable earlier today, I was just refreshing occassionally when it would pop up and it would eventually work but was becoming irritating, now it flat out doesn't save at all. The article is a little over 8000 words, and the only thing that might come to my mind is that it's somehow too long for the article to autosave, having a harder time updating as the article got longer until it was finally too large to handle?

Steps to Reproduce

1. Try to make any edit to the contents of the article. 2. The error message pops up, and pressing the "attempt to fix" button or refreshing the page removes the attempt change to article content without saving it. 3. WorldAnvil has already been closed and relaunched, and my PC has been restarted, this specific WorldAnvil article is the only one currently causing a problem.

The article is still incomplete which is why it was a draft, I cannot change it to be published for the devs because it still just gives me the same error message and does not save the change.   https://www.worldanvil.com/p/athena/article/be6027f0-e06d-4824-98b3-6f2535fcd530/edit
