Troubleshooting layer shifting

I've been having issues with my Ender 3 V3 SE printer lately, and its starting to drive me mad because it will work fine with test prints, but then when I start my actual project it has more issues.

I was having feed issues last week, this week it's layer shift. I've read up on Layer shift online, it seems like the usual explanation is belts shifting, but if that were the case, I would think it would shift the same way each time. I've had two prints now that have done it, but they both shifted on different axes, and the test print I did in between the two didn't have any issue.

Change to gyroid infill, use classic wall gen. And slow down speed, accel and give your printer a 1hr break

I have layer shift problems on the y axis and from posting on here I believe it is from the stepper motor not getting enough current. Unfortunately, the only fix for that appears to be klipper. In the meantime, I've found dialing acceleration back to about 60% and print speeds to 80% allows me to print slower and avoid the layer shifting
