As a workaround I have tried using dconf Editor to change the timestamps that deja dup uses to schedule its backups. Maybe this will work for other people too.

In dconf Editor go to:

    org/gnome/deja-dup

Change the last-backup and last-run timestamps to match a time earlier today that a successful backup should have run. For example, if you want to run backups daily, at 2am, try something like this:

2019-03-11T02:00:00.052453Z

This is within 24 hours, so the backup shouldn't bother you today. But hopefully at 2am the next day it will start working.

Give it a shot and see if it works for you. Maybe if we can confirm this we can either make a change to the deja-dup UI, or provide a simple command line tool to run to set this.
