A change in Chase's approval policy was flagged on Reddit the other day.
Previously, if you were over 5/24, you would simply be denied. Now, Chase appears to be moving toward an Amex-like pop-up warning. The pop-up will let you know that you're not eligible for the sign-up bonus but can still apply. At this point, you'll have the option to proceed with the application.
It seems that this change has only been rolled out for Sapphire cards and the Freedom Unlimited for now.
