found a fix on this site

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46424915/apfs-container-resize-error-code-is-49153

That didn't fix the issue for me.

Apple seems to know about the issue. The told me that there is already a bug report (id 34077846).

I hope there will be a fix soon.

Is there any new Information on this? Still having the same issue :-(

Seems like this link works.

I've had so many problems with APFS that I've gone back to HFS. I've totally lost 3 different pertitions under APFS.

MacBook Pro (mid 2012) 940GB SSD Transend JetDrive 725 High Sierra 17C85a.

I have the same problem as well and in my case it's not because of Time Machine so that "tmutil thinlocalsnapshots / 9999999999999999" solution doesn't work. Has anyone found a different solution?

I've tried to create Bootcamp partition many times. When I've set the size larger than default (40GB) I recevied "resize error" but when I left default value for Bootcamp size it was finally create. Unfortunetly 40GB is to small for Windows with few aplications so i want to enlarge Bootcamp partition. I recive the same error as above.
