I've got an issue with btrfs free space (not that uncommon), but I was unable to solve it by following most obvious sources. I don't know what I'm missing.

My system:
# uname -a
Linux archb3 4.6.3-2-ARCH #1 PREEMPT Wed Jun 29 07:15:33 MDT 2016 armv5tel GNU/Linux
/home is automounted (no entry in fstab)

If I get it correctly, there should be no issue with Metadata (over 40% free), and I can't see how there's an issue with Data - 1.64 TiB allocated out of 1.81 TiB available.
I tried to run rebalancing, but it bails out with "no space left of device" message - I remove a directory with ~25 GiB of data, but to no avail.
What am I missing?
EDIT: There are no snapshots on the system, just checked.
EDIT2: I deleted about 50 GB of data and ran defrag - to my amazement, the disk reports now: # btrfs fi df /home Data, single: total=1.71TiB, used=1.70TiB System, DUP: total=8.00MiB, used=224.00KiB Metadata, DUP: total=3.50GiB, used=2.24GiB GlobalReserve, single: total=512.00MiB, used=0.00B
So it's like after removing 50 GB, another 100 GB appeared on the drive.
I want to like btrfs, but it seems utterly unpredictable :/
