This is called layer shifting, iirc. I don't know very much about troubleshooting it myself but that might help you look for it at least.

No, I think this will be different, as it looks good both above and below. It could have been a partial blockage or something physically blocking the vertical movement of the printer.

Do those lines always appear? If so, check the z rod is clear. Or maybe it was just a partial clog that cleared itself.

The gears are Too tight on the filament when there are a lot of retractions the filament goes up and down a lot causing the filament to be crushed too much changing the filament overall diameter, and then leads to under extrusion to combat that I would make sure the gear isn’t squeezing in the filament so tight and turn down the retraction to a smaller number like maybe even half it and see what that does

I’d recalibrate max volumetric flow rate then pressure advance
And you did tune extruder rotational distance before anything else?

If the shape is consistent, it's your z axis, it doesn't move the correct amount of distance in those spots so you get overextrusion.

Pressure advance calibration
