On my desktop, I have about 200GB free, which is about 10%, which feels like the bare minimum, and the only reason I haven’t upgraded yet is that there’s some large directories I can archive should it be necessary.
On my server, I recently was down to about 500GB free, also about 10%, which made me add more drives.
SSD’s can’t edit a sector, but do a copy-modify-write operation. Having little spare sectors left means this data needs to be cached and can lead to significantly slower operating speeds.
Leaving 10% free is a very healthy habit I always recommend, and this counts for phones too.

So it’s all relative.
