Confusing btrfs missing

On my working F34-gnome system I like to install Fedora Budgie. To prepare I watch what currently is on and I am a bit confused

j@ws-living:~$ btrfs file sho
Label: none  uuid: 68513f70-589a-420e-b2cf-d3ecb671202a
	Total devices 2 FS bytes used 309.57GiB

	devid    2 size 0 used 0 path /dev/nvme0n1 MISSING
j@ws-living:~$ ls -la /dev/nvm*
crw-------. 1 root root 238, 0 Nov 29 15:32 /dev/nvme0
brw-rw----. 1 root disk 259, 1 Nov 29 15:32 /dev/nvme0n1
crw-------. 1 root root 238, 1 Nov 29 15:32 /dev/nvme1
brw-rw----. 1 root disk 259, 0 Nov 29 15:32 /dev/nvme1n1

How is the btrfs working with two missing nvme devices?

These are the blockdevs:

j@ws-living:~$ lsblk

Your system is installed on nvme1n1:

It looks like the other nvme disk is not used at the moment.

The command should be run with sudo in order to see details instead of the MISSING flag.

that was it!

sudo btrfs fi sh
Label: none  uuid: 9824f397-8933-4c17-94fe-512528631323
	Total devices 2 FS bytes used 19.33GiB
	devid    1 size 476.94GiB used 22.03GiB path /dev/nvme0n1
	devid    2 size 476.94GiB used 22.03GiB path /dev/nvme1n1

It seems a non-native speaker wrote the program mixing up UNKNOWN and MISSING
