Might be watering them inadequately, missed the peak growing season, which is summer (most likely, though some are still growing) impatient or all of the above but I feel like that’s the size they grow, apparently I’ve read somewhere that they’re of the “ornamental” variety which means they’re that size when they’ve matured, but the picture shows a bigger size. They’re Thai Dragon Chilies. Unless I wait until next year to see if they grow bigger or to move them to a bigger pot.
Luckily you didn’t get the same results are this guy over on Reddit a while back:

Those in the photo are actually perfectly fine. The naming of these gets pretty convoluted and has a lot of regional variation, but these look to be “chiltepin”/“bird’s eye”.
I thought the point was they don’t look like the variety (Thai Dragon) as pictured on the label indicates they should.
I’m talking about the Reddit pic; the Lemmy OP’s are definitely on the smaller side compared to what they could be, but should taste and cook just fine.
I was too - at least OPs are the right aspect ratio 😅
Oof, that guy’s chilis became more rounded lol, yeah luckily is the key word here. Still probably taste the same anyway.
