WordPress won’t save page/post with more than 332 words

I am answering my own question to mark the solution that worked for me.

I have moved the site to a different hosting company. All works as expected with no changes made to the site.

Still unaware where the problem was. According the the old host, it’s a WordPress issue. Yet again, new host -> functioning site.
