Can't make bigger partition than 64 GB

I want to install a win10 with bootcamp, and give for it 100 GB. I used it earlier, but with only 60 GB.

If i want give more space than 64 GB, it can't partition, just under 64GB. If I want make it with myself (Disk Utility), the situation is the same.

Im using Mac 16' (2019 late).

I found similar problem, (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7789876), but the "diskutil repairDisk disk0" didn't help me.

I found this 2 site too, tried it, but nothing:

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210898

Please, can you help me?

Boot into Internet Recovery, erase your whole disk, and restore your TM backup and retry BC Assistant.

Given this information, you should be able to create a 300+Gb partition. As a test, run

diskutil apfs resizeContainer disk1 200g fat32 BOOTCAMP 0g

and post the output.

Sorry the slow reaction, yesterday I was not at home.

But thanks for your help, the format and reinstall solved it, I successfully made a 105 GB partition, and the Win10 is installed.

Thanks! :D

Shrinking APFS data structures
APFS Container Resize error code is 49174

This indicates APFS corruption. Do you have a Time Machine backup?

Yes, before I made this post, I made a backup. Should I format the disk and reinstall?
