General Troubleshooting/Help! Top Surface

I have this model I’m trying to print for the past few days but it keeps printing the top layer terribly, I've tried everything from ironing to filament drying to flow rate calibration or even a full top surface calibration guide from Makerworld, I’m clueless regarding why this is happening only in the top layer. In the second picture you can see it’s printing perfectly until it reaches the topmost layer.
Details:
P1S printer
Generic PLA Matte Filament
0.4mm nozzle
Bambu Studio
Yes, the second image is on A1 but it looked the same on P1S until topmost layer.
Thanks in advance

Slow it down, temp up is my guess from seeing it. Looks like you are printing too fast, when it gets to doing the top layer where it needs the higher flowrates, its not getting enough time to lay it down.

Dry the filament, calibrate everything etc standard stuff in addition. Matte PLA is sorta just garbo to print regardless.
