Will try, but the filament is great (Prusament PLA) and the retraction settings are the default in PrusaSlicer for my Prusa printer (MINI) and the aforementioned Prusa PLA.

But thanks, will try playing with retraction settings the next time.

Check that the feeding gear on the extruder is properly engaged on the filament.

I had this issue and it turned out the pivot point on the extruder had gotten sticky, so the spring wasn't compressing the gear onto filament enough to reliably grab it.
