Tried it here but got this error:

linux-6kf5:/home/jim # btrfs filesystem resize /dev/sda3 max /
ERROR: 'filesystem resize' requires 2 arg(s)

This is what happens the previous say. Looks like it resized, but no
changes are made:

linux-6kf5:/home/jim # btrfs filesystem resize max /
Resize '/' of 'max'

linux-6kf5:/home/jim # btrfs filesystem show
Label: none  uuid: 77d88d59-0279-4763-bef4-9ffa1e9248e4
        Total devices 1 FS bytes used 5.27GB
        devid    1 size 6.75GB used 6.75GB path /dev/sda3

Btrfs v0.19+

So I tried it here using uuid but still the error:

linux-6kf5:/home/jim # btrfs filesystem resize
77d88d59-0279-4763-bef4-9ffa1e9248e4 max /
ERROR: 'filesystem resize' requires 2 arg(s)
