The Bing spell check API has a 10,000 char limit for the chunk of text that the request would like to do a spell check [mode=spell] or proof read [mode=proof(default)].
However I am running into an issue where a chunk of misspelt text clearly under the limit of 10k, does not return back with flagged tokens in a spell check request, but does return back in the proof read request.
What gives? Is there a lower limit for Spell check?
Output for both requests below. I am using POST in both cases and both responses return a 200 OK
