I'm getting a message "iPad storage full" while I still have 115 GB available. That doesn't make any sense to me, but what exactly makes sense today...
I don't want to "Offload Unused Apps", "Review Downloaded Videos" or "Review Large Attachments" when I still have 115 GB of free space. It's gigabyte not megabyte....
Any idea why this happens?
OK......I'm going to suggest you do a backup/restore. If you have the ability to use your home computer with iTunes, it will put a completely fresh version of iPadOS on your device and clean up anything which may have become corrupt. If you cannot use your home computer, you can do it all over the air.
See the directions in this link, which tells you how to do it either way --> Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup - Apple Support

First I get a popup again "iPad Storage Full" "You can free up space on this iPad by managing your storage in Settings", then I click on "Not Now"...
My iPad shows "115.4 GB of 256 GB Used"
Doesn't make any sense.
This actually means that I have even more free space than 115 GB...
Just restarted the iPad and now the message even shows up on the unlock screen.
It's getting weirder. I've just restarted the iPad Pro again. Logged in, then I got the spinning wheel of death.
After 30 seconds I could login again.
Now it suddenly shows "84.2 GB of 256 GB Used".... and I didn't delete anything or change any setting - and on the home screen are several apps without an icon. Means it only shows "Contacts" as text, but no icon.
Meanwhile in Settings it shows "83.9 GB of 256 GB Used".
It's an iPad Pro 12.9 inch 2019. It must be too old...
Are you talking about iCloud rather than device storage?
No, it says "Ipad Storage Full". Just got the message again, and I do have for sure 115 GB available.
My iCloud storage has around 1 TB available...
When you go to Settings > General > iPad Storage
What does it show?
No, it's not too old. What iOS is running on your iPad? The current version is iPadOS 14.3
Have you updated to the current version?
Software Version 14.3 (18C66) - I always update to the iOS.
"iPad storage full" message while still 115 GB available!
