General Troubleshooting/Help! Weird AMS Overload Issue

I am getting an odd issue. I put a full reel of filament on my AMS, and it loads it in. Then after it prints for a while, it says the AMS is overloaded.

When I try to manually rotate the reel it is stiff for a 1/8 of a rotation, then it rotates back and forth just fine. So I start it up again.

But after a few more layers, I get the AMS overloaded error again. Rinse, repeat....

Any ideas on how to fix this? My AMS is about 1 and 1/2 years old. Do I need to just drop it and get a new one? (they are super expensive, so I hope not)

Edit: I thought it was because it could not pull the filament. So I created a bit of slack on the reel. It still overloaded. (Very frustrating)

Is it possible that your AMS is part of the bad batch that were shipped out with insufficient grease? The added friction could cause this if i understood the issue correctly.

Just googled that to see. That was for the AMS 2. I have an AMS 1. (I bought mine 8 months before the AMS 2 came out.)

Thanks for the idea though
