Does the ZFS up to 80% recommendation apply only for pools or for filesystems as well?

Hello,

Please, about the 80% recommended usage limit in ZFS, is it just for filesystems?
Would that equally apply for pools? And for other objects such as volumes?

For example:
We were just exercising with pools (made of files -- zpool create pool1 /var/tmp/vdisk1).
Then at a certain moment the filesystem had 189MB avail (as per zfs list) and we were able to copy a "last file" of 188MB.
Then we removed it, but when we tried to copy it back (again) we've got something like "no space left on device".
At all moments the pool had enough avail space (because dedup was active and "working" for other copies of another test file).

Howdy, Stranger!
