Disk Utility - Operation successful, but says warning: bst_node_limit_reached

When I run disk utility - I get a warning

Checking snapshot 1 of 8

(com.apple,TimeMachine.2020-01-25-120803.local)

warning: bst_node_limit_reached

warning: object (mid 0x400000284c6d40): Unable to mark physical extent range (0x400000284c6d40 + 32) allocated for space verification

and then it says it over and over.

I did delete some time machine backups to free up some space on my external drive.... is this a problem and what can I do about it?

iMac Line (2012 and Later)

You can ignore snapshot errors. They are not related to your system installation. If the test result says it finished OK with an error code=0, then all is well. There was no need to delete Time Machine backups.
