Fire onMaxCount callback only once

[katart]

I would like to append some alert text to the DOM after the user reaches the Max word count. I'm using strictMax: true and the onMaxCount callback function.

The alert text is continually being appended when the keyboard is pressed. How can I have this text append only once?

I've figured out a solution:

if( $('.alert-form').length == 0 ) countable.after('You have reached your 250 word limit.');
