"Packet size limited while capturing: tcp truncated"?

Adding "truncated" is probably good, although the size of the packets on the wire isn't what's limited, the amount of data saved is what's limited (which is a problem with my suggestion, too). "Amount of packet data saved limited while capturing"? That could be read as saying the number of packets was limited, though.

"Packet capture size limited: tcp truncated"?

That sounds as if the size of the capture - i.e., the capture file size - was limited, rather than the sizes of the packets.
