Is 825GB a common size? Is there any logic to where that being picked came from?

Nope.
512+256=768, 768+64=832… minus 7 for system data and general overhead maybe? That’s my best guess, but that’s a really odd size.

Assuming it’s 768GiB, then it would be 824.6GB, not 832GB.

Maybe some overprovisioning for the SSD. But to be honest, I’m not sure

Because it is cheaper to manufacture.
They buy storage with 12 channels, 512Gib Nand Chip per channel. This means each SSD has 512Gibx12ch=768 GiB of storage, or 825 GB.
Key:
Gib = gibibit, giga/binary/bit, 1024⁴ bits GiB = gibibyte, 1024⁴ x 8 bits GB = gigabyte, giga/(decimal)/byte, 1000⁴ x 8 bits
