What is the output of df -h /sys/firmware/efi/efivars/ and ls -lhS /sys/firmware/efi/efivars?
Unless you are dual booting with windows, you can probably remove windows boot entries to make a little bit more space (efibootmgr -B -b 0003 and efibootmgr -B -b 0004). Unless the issue isn’t so much a lack of free space, but a lack of continuous free space.
Thanks for linking. Looks like there is nothing super actionable at the moment. Let’s see how the discussion continues to evolve in both threads. Deleting the Windows boot entries would save only 10s of bytes as suggested by @Felix_Pehla. I don’t dual boot for what it’s worth.
Start GNOME Software and update your system with it. It will also do firmware updates and does it via reboot and performing the stunt w/o user logged in. This did the trick for me
I think I just figured this out. I’m on a FW16 running Bazzite, using AMD 7040 and BIOS 3.07. It would appear I fixed it by going into the secure boot admin settings in the UEFI setup, erasing the secure boot settings which erases the whole database. Then after rebooting I went back into the secure boot settings and restored the secure boot settings to default. After doing this I the prompt to update the secure boot database seems to have disappeared. That said, I kinda just fumbled my way through it so I may have created more problems than I solved. Thought I’d drop this here though.
Output after the above steps:

when you say erasing the secure boot settings and restoring to default, does that affect secure boot negatively? i’m having this issue on intel, not AMD.
i followed the steps in this link and once the BIOS was updated, i rebooted and reran a check for updates and the error didn’t show up - How to check the BIOS version on Windows/Linux/BIOS
i know someone else mentioned they’d tried it and it didn’t work, but it did for me. maybe it will for others.
