This is because you need a larger disk for buildkit, or reduce your buildkit [cacheRatio](https://www.okteto.com/docs/self-hosted/helm-configuration/#buildkit).

The default `cacheRatio` is 0.5 to have space for in-flight builds and pulling images. Based on your scenario, you might need a lower `cacheRatio` or a larger disk:

```auto
buildkit:
  persistence:
    enabled: true
    size: 500Gi
    cacheRatio: 0.3

```
