Use input, it can handle paste too

Also DRY and don't bleed vars into global scope

Lastly if you have something called exists, then don't use it as not exists

$(document).on('input', 'input[type="text"],textarea ', function() {
  const tag_name = $(this).prop("tagName");
  const isTextArea = tag_name === 'TEXTAREA';
  const limit = isTextArea ? 200 : 20;
  const limit_warning = isTextArea ? 179 : 15;
  $(this).attr('maxlength', limit);
  let this_vall = $(this).val();
  let length_count = this_vall.length;
  let text_field = length_count + "/" + limit;
  let label_tag = $(this).siblings('label');
  let is_label_exist = label_tag.length > 0;

  if (!is_label_exist) {
    x = ` <label class="input_label w-100 text-right" style="font-size:11px ;">${text_field}</label>`
    $(this).parent().append(x)
  }
  $(label_tag).text(text_field)

})
