I'm running Mint 19 in VirtualBox, and I have a 20 GB virtual disk. After several weeks, it stopped working and would only boot to tty1. It turns out that /dev/sda1 was 100% full, and /timeshift was using about 9.8 GB (half the disk). As soon as I deleted the snapshots, everything started working again (in fact, the login screen immediately appeared, even before I logged out tty1).

So I agree with the original bug description: Timeshift should be aware of how much disk space it's using and avoid filling up the disk.
