timeout
error: cannot perform the following tasks:
 
    Mount snap "lxd" (15359) (snap-lxd-15359.mount failed to stop: timeout)
    Stop snap "lxd" services (snap.lxd.daemon.unix.socket failed to stop: timeout)

Try:

echo "reload" > /var/snap/lxd/common/state
systemctl stop snap.lxd.daemon
systemctl start snap.lxd.daemon.unix.socket
systemctl start snap.lxd.activate

NOTE: Normally lxd.activate should be inactive/exited, unix.socket should always be active and service should be active if LXD is running.
