why would var have such a restraint? reminds me of overly complex tutorials tricking people into elaborate partitioning schemes

du -hsc /var
Check the sheets to see which directories are taking up your space.

Uninstall all the flatpak packages that are installed as system wide packages and install them as user packages, that way flatpak will use your /home partition. I had the same problem.

Well, what's using your /var?
Usually var gets full of old log files. So maybe delete some of those. Apt-cache is also a suspect
You can use baobab or ncdu to try to figure out what's filling it up.
replies:
apt-get clean will clear the apt cache and should give you enough temporary storage headroom on /var to do things, but if you're bumping up on this limit often, you'll need to reconfigure your storage.
dd if=/dev/zero of=/var
But really, remove what you don't use and/or stop using flatpak.
