I've been able to paste quite large amounts of text in documents with no problems, e.g., https://www.photoshopgurus.com/forum/attachments/photoshop-newbies/32512d1368946945-text-image-color-font-changing-light-dark-areas-readability-how-abraham_lincoln_november_1863-tjm01_crop-acr-ps11a_tjm_alternate-01_698px_crop-jpg ,  so my first guess is that you are approaching some memory limit, hence some questions:

1.  How much RAM is in your computer?

2.  What OS are u using (particularly, 32 or 64 bit)?

3.  If you have a 64 bit OS, are you using the 32 or 64 bit version of PS?

4.  Have you checked to see if the text limit that you are encountering shrinks if you have another large document open? Have you tried shutting down all other programs and see if the limit increases?

5.  What is the size of the document in number of horiz  and vertical pixels (aka, pixel dimensions)? 

6.  Roughly how much text are you trying to fit in? 1000 characters?  10,000 characters, etc?

7.  What are the stats on the document that are displayed in the little box in the lower LH corner of the PS screen (see attached screen shot), particularly size of the document (as shown), and the amount of memory used (aka, scratch size)?
