Meanwhile situation got worst
..


[root@microserver ~]# btrfs fi df /mnt/dls/
Data: total=713.01GB, used=712.23GB
System, DUP: total=8.00MB, used=80.00KB
System: total=4.00MB, used=0.00
Metadata, DUP: total=1.00GB, used=999.31MB
Metadata: total=8.00MB, used=0.00


and I kept getting more messages
dmesg |grep "block rsv returned -28" |wc -l
60

(I had stared with only 9 messages just a few hours ago)

So I decided to remove files
I started to remove (rm -rfv) thousands of files and directories
At first the rate was about 1 filedelete per second... 
Always monitoring usage while deleteing
Utilll I got down to: 

# btrfs fi df /mnt/dls/
Data: total=712.01GB, used=638.04GB
System, DUP: total=8.00MB, used=80.00KB
System: total=4.00MB, used=0.00
Metadata, DUP: total=1.00GB, used=895.24MB
Metadata: total=8.00MB, used=0.00

And then the filesystem became responsive again
Back to 100MBps range from ~1MBps
