layershifts and not able to run performance mode without warnings

Random layer shifts on long prints. Sometimes a 10-hour print is perfect, other times a 4-hour print has 2–4 layer shifts. The shifts aren’t consistent in Z height or size (sometimes small, sometimes large “stair steps”). Troubleshooting so far: Mechanics: belts are tensioned, pulleys grub screws checked, rails greased, no obvious snags in wiring/drag chain. Z tilt adjust run before prints. Shifts appear on both X and Y, not tied to a specific axis.

Try printing a test print in each of the four corners? There might be a section of the printer that has a slight snag or something Also, in our conversation in another channel you mentioned not being able to run in "performance" mode. Try re-enabling that and sharing the errors in here.

I put it in performance mode and im not getting the errors now ? So maybe thats fine. Im going to wait out this print and then do the test prints in the corner.

Working performance mode may also just solve the problem as the steppers are getting an appropriate amount of amperage
