This seems to be not uncommon problem with default setup of cachy. Recommendations there are that 2gb default for /boot is too small and some other tips to slim it down.
my /boot is also 2 gigs and i’m glad you shared this; thank you!
The quickest and easiest solution would be to update your snapper config and reduce the number of snapshots you keep.
