2024-09-07T11:27:11+05:30: starting garbage collection on store backup01
2024-09-07T11:27:11+05:30: Start GC phase1 (mark used chunks)
2024-09-07T11:27:11+05:30: TASK ERROR: update atime failed for chunk/file "/backup01/.chunks/acd5/acd52f1765fbeaa474456d2fd039a9987764f7bca37af1d94f0fa1922cbf00c1" - ENOSPC: No space left on device

even deleting a few backups does not reclaim space

reduced the number of hourly backups to be retained from 8 to 3 and I did a prun still no luck

gc collection fails with the above error. and space continues to be at zero bytes available.
 
Garbage collection does indeed need some free space to function.
If I recall correctly the tip I've seen used before (still looking for the reference, might post it if I do find it) is to take some of the chunks from the .chunks folder, move it to someplace else, then run the GC. It will give some warnings/errors about the missing chunks, but should clean up some data. After that, place the moved chunks back and run a verify/GC again.
