Time Machine stops after a few gigabytes, without any visible error message

Solution 1:

Problem seems to be solved, I am not sure how.

  • I deleted the erroneus file, but I don't see why it would cause problem in the first place
  • By a friend's suggestion I've moved physically closer to the Time Capsule, maybe it is getting older and the wifi connection is weaker
  • I've deleted a volume from boot APFS container (but it wasn't mounted anyway)

I am still somewhat puzzled, but maybe someone coming by with same symptoms can make use of any of these.
