Perhaps. But, are you re-balancing your btrfs file systems regularly?

Doing it by hand was not practical for me. I wrote a Perl script to
automate the process. On SSD's, the results were decent. On USB flash
drives, not so much.
Searching for a power tool today, I see:

$ apt-cache search btrfs | grep mainten
btrfsmaintenance - automate btrfs maintenance tasks on mountpoints or
directories
https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/btrfsmaintenance
I suggest installing and trying the btrfsmaintenance package.
