Baseplate extremely uneven

🤷other

I have a VCore-4 500 CoreXY without an enclosure that I've been using for over a year, generally with great prints (all PLA). I recently added an enclosure to the printer and have started printing ABS with a much higher bed temp (110C). The prints are coming out great, with one exception - the bed shape is crazy. An adaptive mesh shows a maximum variance of 0.8mm, but the prints are coming out with a crazy hump. I measured one at 3.8mm!

Any clue what's going on? It seems odd that the prints are coming out that distorted when the printer's mesh doesn't seem to be that far out. Bed adhesion isn't an issue, and I'm leaving the print to cool on the bed.
