Quota system have slightly unpleasant known issues, so will be useful to disable it.
timeshift forcibly execute this commands (without any questions):
# btrfs quota enable <path># btrfs quota rescan <path>But without quota will not be possible to know snapshots size (or execute this command# btrfs qgroup show)
I think in settings (and first launch wizard) should be a check box (enabled by default)

I have never noticed any performance issues with quotas, but I'll add an option to disable it.
Added option in v18.4
