--- Comment #5 from Eike Rathke <erack at redhat.com> ---
Ask yourself how useful it is to copy one cell to more than 23 million cells..

Take into account that this limit exists to prevent users from shooting
themselves into the foot by selecting too many entire columns (or worse, with
Ctrl+A the entire sheet) before pasting that could crash the application if not
enough memory was available. Maybe pasting one text cell (where the actual
string is shared and not replicated) is ok on your system and the memory used
looks "low" to you, but make it a number, or heavier, a not so trivial formula.

See also the bugs referenced by the commit, tdf#60021 and tdf#60056.

I advise against removing the limit.
