fluid is low because of 1) a leak or 2) pads are low. those are really the only reasons. don't top off the fluid either; replace the pads or you may be overfilled after pad replacement.

You will not be overfilled if you take out some brake fluid using a syringe before replacing pads, buy you have to not forget about that step...

Yeah but there's no need to do that. Fluid levels aren't at risk-measuring low levels anyways, even when the pads are toasted.
