Due to a problem in the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software version 18.1, you might encounter max skew violations when compiling project with Signal Tap enabled. These violations occur in designs targeting Intel® Arria® 10 devices because the auto-generated timing constraint in intel_signal_tap.sdc over constrain the max delay to 1 ns.
To work around this problem, write a set_max_delay constraint as follow to overwrite the set_max_delay constraint in the auto-generated intel_signal_tap.sdc:
set_max_delay -from [get_registers {auto_fab_0|alt_sld_fab_0|alt_sld_fab_0|auto_signaltap_top|sld_signaltap_inst|sld_signaltap_body|sld_signaltap_body|jtag_acq_clk_xing|intel_stp_status_bits_cdc_u1|stp_status_bits_in_reg[*]}] -to [get_registers {auto_fab_0|alt_sld_fab_0|alt_sld_fab_0|auto_signaltap_top|sld_signaltap_inst|sld_signaltap_body|sld_signaltap_body|jtag_acq_clk_xing|intel_stp_status_bits_cdc_u1|stp_status_bits_out[*]}] 30.000
