SD card should be big enough to hold data but doesn't accept transfer

I have an SD card someone's given to me with it intentionally at full capacity. I had a 512GB sd card ready to go to place a copy of the data on, a Sandisk 512 GB extreme micro sd card. Coincidentally the same model as what was given to me. I've successfully copied all files to my desktop, easy. I then went to copy paste in dolphin file explorer, it got to the last couple GBs and reported that the disk was full. It is... The 474GB directory on my desktop is showing as 477GB on the SD card. I got a different type of full storage error when I tried rsync last night. I have formatted the card to be identical to the other one in case there's something to do with filesystems here but no luck.

[user@desktop directory]$ sudo du -hax --max-depth=0 512gb /run/media/user/files
474G    Downloads/files
477G    /run/media/user/files
[user@desktop directory]$ df -h /dev/sde1
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sde1       477G  477G     0 100% /run/media/user/files

EDIT: It looks like unit cluster size might be relevant here and I saw 4K listed as a good one for smaller files, which I expect this to be. I'm trying this format option to see if that's what I'm missing. sudo mkfs -t exfat -n roms -s 1 /dev/sde1
