The amount of free space has nothing to do with quotas.

The sysadmin can allocate an amount of space to each user. For most of
my web page customers I allocate 15 megs on an 80 gig hard drive. I can
set soft and hard limits. I can have 79 gigs of free space on the drive
and that customer still won't get over his alloted 15 megs.

Check out 'man quota'
