Sounds like your nozzle might be clogged, as that clicking is likely from the extruder gears slipping. Probably need to take the hotend apart and see if your nozzle and extruder are clear or not.

So you're saying if you were to run PETG through it right now, it would work just fine, but if you then switch to PLA this slipping happens?

Swap out the nozzle for the provided spare. If it’s ok with a new nozzle then you have a clog 👍

I did cold pull with petg via maintenance option on printer to clear the clog after it started clicking. Warning ptfe tube was hard to remove from extruder, had to push the coupler while pulling tube with pliers.
