How do I resize my plan downgrading to a smaller plan?
Although I have a used storage of no more than 11GB (df -h), I can not downgrade from the current shared CPU Linode 8GB to a Nanode 1GB, which is limited 25GB of Storage.

This is likely because although you are only using a small amount of allocated disk space, the 8GB Linode has a much larger disk partition than the Nanode.
If you have already confirmed that you are using less than 25GB on your disk, you can downsize your disk before attempting to downgrade your Linode to a smaller plan. Keep in mind that if you have allocated any space for a swap disk that this will count against your total plan allocation so you should resize accordingly (for example, swap 512MB means that you should resize your disk to 25,088MB or 24.5GB).
