Please note the following. Whenever I talk about mining or producing in the following text, they are interchangeable. Either counts to cause the problem, as well as a mix of the two.
After a lot more testing, I can now say the following.
Mining and production will fail prematurely due to “not enough space left in storage”. Even when there is still plenty of space. The number of items you can produce depends on the space left in storage (or the items already in there. should be pretty much the same thing). You can see the table below to know at what point you can make how many items before it will fail. Note that the number of items made counts. Mining always creates 1 item, but production can make more. For example 4 items at the same time. In which case you can fail in a lot fewer cycles. Note also that it does not matter how many items a production consumes, you will fail after a number of items is made, even if you actually reduced the amount of items in storage. If the production cycle makes more items than you would be able to make if each cycle only makes 1 item, it will succeed but the next one will fail.
You can reset this amount during production. By opening either storage (from a storage terminal or from clicking a storage button on another terminal) or just opening the production terminal. At some point it seemed like starting a new production also resets it, but I am not entirely sure of that, I have had some times where it seemed to work and others where it seemed not to.
Here you have a table with how many items I can mine depending on how full the storage is.

It seems like the server sends an amount of free space in storage to the client.
But the client only requests this info or forces the server to calculate this amount at the start of a mining or production run, or whenever opening certain terminals or storage. Until this number is updated. the client will simply do its mining or production task and count down from this number whenever an item is created. It seems to me that before receiving an item from a production cycle the client should request an update from the server on how much room is in storage. For starters because most productions actually reduce the number of items in storage, so if that does not get updated upon each production cycle, the client might think he runs out of space while actually opening up space. A second reason might be to avoid storage overflows if somebody decides to transfer items to you while mining. If you do not get updates on how much room is left, the client could continue mining while his storage got filled up with a transfer.
The current calculation also seems to have a mistake somewhere. Probably could figure out what goes wrong based on the values I have captured here, but I would think that it will be quick enough for somebody looking at the code to find the mistake.
