Reference reference = uidoc.Selection.PickObject(Autodesk.Revit.UI.Selection.ObjectType.Element);

HI @ICON-MIJ 

Kindly use Transform.Identity instead of GetTotalTransform()

ElementTransformUtils.CopyElements(sourcedocument, linkedElements,doc, Transform.Identity, new CopyPasteOptions());

Hope this will Helps 🙂

Have you tried by removing the CopyPasteHandler?, Create Directly by new CopyPasteOptions().
And Which element you're trying to copy?

I tried the following:
1. Copy without handler
2. Manual Copy form document to document via UI
3. Via Dynamo

and none works for me...very strange..I'm copying scope boxes

            RevitLinkInstance revitLinkInstance = doc.GetElement(reference) as RevitLinkInstance;

            ICollection<ElementId> linkedElements = new FilteredElementCollector(sourcedocument)
            .OfCategory(BuiltInCategory.OST_VolumeOfInterest)
            .WhereElementIsNotElementType()
            .ToElementIds();


            using (Transaction createTransaction = new Transaction(doc, "Create Transaction"))
            {
                createTransaction.Start();

                ElementTransformUtils.CopyElements(sourcedocument, linkedElements, doc, Transform.Identity, new CopyPasteOptions());

                createTransaction.Commit();
            }
