I think there are others who have experienced something similar:

It is possible that you are hitting one of the quota limits set in the winrm configuration - https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee309367%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

Personally I only use win_copy to push out small files usually less than 1Mb.  To transfer large binary files it is much quicker to use the win_get_url module to make the remote host retrieve them.
