You can use textarea instead.
But you can restrict the input using max=30.

I think you should wrap instead of restricting. Refer - Wrapping Long URLs and Text Content with CSS[^]

Look, you should restrict in any case. You can't read every user's mind and design accordingly. Otherwise, what you can do is to cap the length and mention that near to the textbox like "Maxlength is 50" or something like that. Whatever user enters, he/she is going to see that. So, why to bother... Let them do. You just prepare your controls in such a way that it does not overflow and looks odd.
