Copy Issue When ChatGPT Limit Popup Appears
OpenAI Developer Community
May 18, 2026
What is the issue?
When my ChatGPT usage limit is reached, a popup appears on the screen. Because of this popup, I am unable to copy the last response properly.
The popup blocks the text
It prevents selecting or copying the final message
I have to open a new tab and reload the page just to copy the content
Expected behavior
The limit popup should not block the ability to copy text
Users should still be able to select and copy the last visible response
Alternatively, the popup should be smaller or non-blocking (dismissible easily)
Suggested improvements
Make the popup less intrusive (e.g., corner notification instead of full overlay)
Allow text selection even when the popup is visible
Or provide a “Copy last response” button before blocking interaction
