Tagging @Paulb23 since they implemented Multi-caret editing.

Found the cause, basically the undo queue hits it maximum. Setting is in Project Settings -> GUI -> Common -> Text Edit Undo Stack Max Size: https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/classes/class_projectsettings.html#class-projectsettings-property-gui-common-text-edit-undo-stack-max-size

By default it's 1024. Each individual character change counts as an action. So if you've got 20 line multi carat, you can type just over 50 characters in one go before you hit the limit and undoing the operations results in an error. (20 x 50 =1000)

You can raise this limit (though you may need to restart to take effect) and it'll be able to take more characters. I'm not sure if this counts as a solution.

it's a known limitation, increasing the undo queue is the best solution for now, without having to re-write undo / redo in TextEdit
