Hi, for example compaction uses a lot of disk space. It is quite common so it is not safe to have your disk utilised like on 85% because compactions would not have room to comapact and that node would be stuck. This happens in production quite often.
Hence, having it on 50% and having big buffer to do compaction is good idea. If it is all compacted, it should go back to normal under 50% (or what figure you have).
