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
