I have a monitoring app that continuously writes whatever it receives in a
StyledText and in a file. But, StyledText has no built-in limit of the
text it contains, as far as I saw from a post on 26.05. Since the app is
intended to be run non-stop, I would really like to find a way to limit
the size of the content in a StyledText.

Just count the number of lines and erase the first one if it grows too much.

That's the way I was gonna do it. It's just that I didn't know I had to go
through StyledTextContent, and then to figure out why sometimes I would
get an illegal argument exception when using replaceTextRange (because of
splitting CRLF).

So it's all good now.
