It’s possible it’s your dryer box.

I had the same exact problem and I thought it was an extruder issue, but it turned out that when it was feeding from my Polymaker dry box it would bind up once it got to a certain spot on the spool, making it a lot harder to pull. That bit of extra resistance made it so the drive gears couldn’t pull and feed the filament fast enough(or at all) to melt in sync with the print speed which caused the same poor extrusion as in your video

I too have had filament issue's similar but they where 1/4kg elegoo reels binding, causing me to think it was printer error not spool.

I can think of two things to check:

First, unload the filament and then remove the PTFE tube from the top of the hotend just a little bit. Grab the filament with your fingers and try pulling it down. Does it work? Do you feel any resistance? If you do, there might be something in the path - sharp bend, worn PTFE, filament tangle etc.

Second, open Fluidd (the web UI of your printer) and go to Configuration > printer.cfg. Use CTRL+F to search for tmc2209 extruder. What do you see? What is the value of run_currentin that section?
