While there are lots of possible issues here (especially leveling related if you just leveled), I've come to believe the go-to answer for anthing "suddenly" going wrong in 3D printing should probably be "wet filament". Is it possible your filament has been contaminated by moisture?

I printed with the same spool yesterday without any issues, so unlikely to be wet filament.

I've been using it a lot lately, is it possible that it's a nozzle issue?

If you've been using abrasive filament, the nozzle could be worn.  If the nozzle is clogged or at the wrong temperature, you could have an underextrusion problem.

In that case I think it's more likely that you got the leveling wrong when re-leveling. Having the nozzle too close or too far from the bed will give you adhesion problems.

Just another 2 cents, have you cleaned the build plate? Sometimes oils or excessive/old adhesives can inhibit the proper adhesion.

@agarza I wipe it down after leveling because for some reason the feeler gauges are oiled.

Glad you found a solution. Remember to post it as an "answer" then in 24 hours you can accept it.

what if the issue turned out to be completely unrelated to the original question? excuse me as lm new to using stack.

That would still be an answer, potentially helpful for others stumbling upon your question.

unlikely since it was more me not checking the filament feed for jams lol
