A process stopped running. I went to disable the job and can't even access crontab. The instance was provisioned with about 15GB.

$ crontab -e
/tmp/crontab.QdgWmI: No space left on device
Creation of temporary crontab file failed - aborting

When checking the space used there are about 8.5 GB accounted for using du:

sudo du -cha --max-depth=1 / | grep -E "M|G"
139M    /boot
791M    /snap
2.3G    /usr
4.4G    /home
287M    /run
du: cannot access '/proc/380392/task/380392/fd/4': No such file or directory
du: cannot access '/proc/380392/task/380392/fdinfo/4': No such file or directory
du: cannot access '/proc/380392/fd/3': No such file or directory
du: cannot access '/proc/380392/fdinfo/3': No such file or directory
575M    /var
2.2M    /tmp
7.2M    /etc
8.4G    /
8.4G    total

df though indicates all 15GB are used.

$ df -h
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/root        15G   15G     0 100% /
tmpfs           7.9G     0  7.9G   0% /dev/shm
tmpfs           3.2G  295M  2.9G  10% /run
tmpfs           5.0M     0  5.0M   0% /run/lock
/dev/xvda16     881M  133M  687M  17% /boot
/dev/xvda15     105M  6.1M   99M   6% /boot/efi
tmpfs           1.6G   12K  1.6G   1% /run/user/1000
This instance should be stateless so I'm not even sure where to start looking. 

Targeting different locations with du hasn't uncovered anything that looks exceptional.
