Can anyone tell me why I might be getting the following email alert when the FreeNAS UI Storage / Pools shows my Data1 pool at 92%?

Current alerts:
* Space usage for pool "Data1" is 89%. Optimal pool performance requires used space remain below 80%.

p.s. I'm working on getting things below 80% .

Can anyone tell me why I might be getting the following email alert when the FreeNAS UI Storage / Pools shows my Data1 pool at 92%?

Is it repetetive with the same number/discrepancy? or is it just a factor of time when the mail was sent?

I'll get the alert every few days but I was more interested in why the space usage is different.

The alert also complains about the new feature flags.....

Feature flags are up to you, but usually harmless to implement if you don't plan to downgrade your server to an older version.

If the emails are only infrequent, it's likely that when they are sent, they are correct and you're comparing them to the alerts in the GUI which show the current state of affairs (most recent raised alert status).

I don't see anything to be concerned about as long as you're working on eliminating the root cause in any case. (as you already stated you are)
