Not sure if this is your problem
if you are running dnf upgrade from the command line there is a setting that saves the downloads
so /var/cache starts to fill up
run df -h and check space on
/dev/mapper/fedora-root 49G 38G 9.4G 80% / on my 120 gb ssd drive it was at 97%
sudo pkcon refresh force -c -1

You have plenty of space with 271MB free.
dnf seems confused. I don't know why. Maybe running dnf with -v will show more
information.

Conjecture is just a conclusion based on incomplete information. It isn't a fact.
