No. If you total up your allocations, you will notice that you have
~69GiB allocated, far shy of your total 1000GiB available. BTRFS
allocates in chunks as needed, so once it needs more space for metadata,
it will allocate some. You only get into trouble if there is no free
space to allocate from, and you are far from having that issue.
