Question 1

What is a good meta description length?

Accepted Answer

Google typically displays 150-160 characters of a meta description. Keep yours within this range to avoid truncation, and include your primary keyword near the beginning.

Question 2

Does Google always use my meta description?

Accepted Answer

No. Google sometimes generates its own snippet from your page content if it determines that a different excerpt better matches the user's query. However, a well-written meta description increases the chance Google will use yours.
