Timeshift does not recognize snapshots in chroot anymore

The weird thing is that in prior uses, timeshift would show snapshots when entering install via chroot, and now it doesn't. I see a thread on this from 2022: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=279194 but it does not appear to have ever been addressed. Timeshift does not rely on mounts. It mounts the device you configure for it, then it mounts it dynamically to /run/timeshift when needed. Not sure what would stop this from working in chroot, but if anyone came up with a fix, I have yet to find it. I know I can use rsync to manually restore the timeshift snapshot, but am curious why this no longer works the way it is supposed to. EDIT: I should mention that I tried both with and without the snapshots device mounted, but to no avail.
