When booting my system, remaining space of efi variable storage is about

threshold, nvram storage cannot be used until EFI_OUT_OF_RESOURCES occurs
on pre OS environment with UEFI.
By "remaining space is about 5KB", do you mean that the rest of the
space is filled with variables or do you mean that there is more free
space but it hasn't been garbage collected?
Remaining space is free space that can be used by efi variable. But by 5KB
threshold, we cannot use the space while running OS.
