As root user, I set limit of 1G on work/ and upper/ dir and created a file of 4G in lower/ dir and mounted overlay on "merged" dir and did "touch zerofile", and go error message. touch: cannot touch 'zerofile': No space left on device So looks like I am doing something wrong and not be able to reproduce the issue to begin with.
