USB stick's file system contains blocks of specific size. Single block size is the minimal space the file takes - even if you place 1 KB file on the exFAT partition with block size 64 KB, whole 64KB block will be reserved.
If I understood your question properly, that's what happened - you have 63 KB free, but can't write anything because there are no fully free blocks left

the question doesn't make much sense. you've written data onto the usb key, you've ran out of space. what did you expect to happen?
if you need to free up space on the key, delete some data.
formatting the usb key will get you all usb key's free space back.
either rephrase the question and/or let us know what exactly the problem is and what's the ultimate goal here.
