MISRA C++ rule 6.9.2 (The names of the standard signed integer types and standard unsigned integer types should not be used) defines two exceptions (shortened):
1. for type aliases
2. postfix operator, return type of main and argc of main.

Currently, there is no exception for user-defined literals.

However, the C++ standard defines as part of [over.literal] §16.5.8.3:

Code:
3 The declaration of a literal operator shall have a parameter-declaration-clause equivalent to one of the

following:

const char*

unsigned long long int

long double

char

wchar_t

char16_t

char32_t

const char*, std::size_t

const wchar_t*, std::size_t

const char16_t*, std::size_t

const char32_t*, std::size_t

If a parameter has a default argument (11.3.6), the program is ill-formed.

Is a exception for user-defined literals missing?

You are correct, 'user-defined literals' should also be an exception to this rule.

This will be added as a correction in the next version
