Your screens have been stopped by the system

I have 28GB free and I'm getting this error message non stop, every few hours.

Just chiming in. This 100% has nothing to do with storage or MacOS triggering a low disk space alert. I have been dealing with it every few minutes, dramatically impacting my daily work and likely forcing me to seek an alternative dock that does not require display link. I haven’t cleaned out anything but still have 128GB left and my memory swap is only touching maybe ~15-20gb of that at any given moment. This only became an issue after the latest updates of DisplayLink.

Here are the storage settings as requested.

This is on a 2023 16” MacBook Pro with an M2 Max and 32GB physical memory running MacOS 26.1

Why do you keep asking for this screenshot when multiple people have told you it's not storage and even given you free space figures? Also being ignored is the fact that this issue has surfaced since the recent update

Hi chrishands,

We treat users individually, never putting everyone in the same bucket, as mentioned previously:

My follow up requests are based on experience where a user had a lot of free disk space but this was total free disk space, while what matters is free disk space on the partition where the OS resides. Hope this context helps and I hope we will find a solution for your problem
