Running version Django==2.0.1

With Example form

class UpdateBalanceForm(forms.Form):
    balance = forms.DecimalField(decimal_places=2, max_digits=16, required=True)

Running the following you get

form = UpdateBalanceForm({'balance':Decimal('5.420575188741E-12')})
form.is_valid()
False
form.errors
{'balance': ['Ensure that there are no more than 16 digits in total.']}

This is surprising because the value has 13 digits minus the scientific notation

edit 1: Simplified example
