Check out the btrfs FAQ about space usage:

and try these command too:
  btrfs filesystem df /mnt/btrfs
  btrfs filesystem show /dev/sdb4

I'm no btrfs expert but it's worth trying to delete one file and
syncing the fs, then repeating.

Yes, I know this FAQ.

I've deleted around 40 GB files, but still occasionally see "No space 
left on device" when removing files, or when copying new files to btrfs 
filesystem (i.e. copying one file fails with "No space left on the 
device", while there is ~70 GB free on btrfs filesystem; and copying 
some other files, with similar or bigger size, succeeds).
