It would be better idea thart you move data on other volumes in same storage pool for the volumes which shows 99% reclaimable manually to ensure all the reclaimable volumes are now empty and get converted into scracth.
After that redifine the thresholds for the storage pool. Sometimes in specific case manually intervention is required. Thanks and regards. Gajendra Kr.
