Share usage in GUI WAY off
I had a problem with one of my backup NAS and decided to just factory default and start over with it. When I copied over one of the shares, the space used was way different from what the primary NAS showed. All of the were a little off (and always larger on the backup), but this one said it was 1.6GB on the primary and ended up as 2.*TB on the backup. I then ran a btrfs quota rescan on the share on the primary, and it now shows the same 2.8TB usage.
So, be warned that the GUI displayed use may be highly inaccurate. I wish I had noticed if the free space changed after the rescan.
I'm thinking of adding a periodic rescan to the cron tasks.

FWIW, I've sometimes seen nonsensical space reports. I turned off volume quota (volume settings wheel) and then turned it back on again. That solved it for me. Likely that is the same as your btrfs quota rescan
