“Can’t copy the objects. There isn’t enough memory. ID: -108”

I'm getting “Can’t copy the objects. There isn’t enough memory. ID: -108” in Illustrator, even when copying a simple shape like a rectangle. It happens across different files.

Has anyone experienced this or found a fix?

    Does that happen with just one file or all files?

    Did you already reboot the computer?

    Happens in pretty much every file. Stops for a bit when I restart but always starts again if I have the file open for more than a few minutes.
