    After further investigation, I found that DisplayLink Manager disables screens when available disk space falls below a certain threshold, even though there is no swap usage whatsoever (swap remains at 0 bytes in Activity Monitor).

    My findings:

    - With ~4GB free disk space: DisplayLink keeps stopping with the "low disk space" error
    - With ~22GB free disk space: Everything works perfectly stable
    - DisplayLink temporary files only use ~13MB
    - No cache files found in ~/Library/Caches/com.displaylink.*
    - Swap usage stays at 0 bytes throughout

    This suggests there's a hardcoded disk space check in DisplayLink Manager that refuses to run below ~15-20GB free space, regardless of actual disk usage. The error message is misleading since DisplayLink itself doesn't actually need that much space to operate.

    System info:

    - macOS Sequoia 15.6.1 (24G90)
    - Baseus Spacemate dock (Mac version)
    - 2 DisplayLink screens

    Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a way to bypass or adjust this threshold?

    Hi,

    Any news concerning this issue?

    I'm experiencing issues with DisplayLink Manager 14.0.0 (Build 17) on macOS Sequoia 15.6.1 where my DisplayLink display is automatically disabled after a few minutes, and I was wondering if it was related with this issue.

    Thank you,
