How much free storage space is reccomended to keep my macbook running as usual?

Right now my free storage space is 21.7GB and it used to be 30GB free storage space. But what is the recommended free storage space to keep my device running normally?

You may be told that you cannot download something because there is not enough space. And, if you fill it up completely, it will stop functioning. The OS needs space to perform its functions. By the way, more empty space is better, prevents new files being written in fragments. Also depends on the apps you are using - graphics and videos need more room while editing or rendering.
