Free space but not free space

I have a setup where I have my drives encrypted as LUKS partitions and lvm volumes and encrypted swap memory.
My root partition is 102GB and I've used 94GB and for some reason it's only free 2.2GB.

Code: [Select]
df -h

/dev/mapper/MyVolGroup-root only has 2.2GB available for idk what reason. I tried to move a file in root and I didn't expect it to actually get an error of running out of storage.
Anyone knows what's causing this?

Which FS are this partition? Ext4 has 5% reserved blocks by default. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Ext4#Reserved_blocks
