Cannot resize the system partition.

Hello! A while ago, I wanted to resize my Arch partition. It did not work from the running system, as expected. However, when I booted to a live Kubuntu 24.04 to resize it, it tells me to update e2fsck.
I tried the same from an archboot.com iso using cfdisk. When I resized the partition, it worked, but when i ran fsck on it, it told me that superblock was telling the wrong filesystem size. When i changed it back to the original size, everything worked fine and I was able to boot like normal. How can I resize my partition without breaking anything?

You need to shrink the filesystem before the partition.
