On the bright side, doing a fully clean/rebuild has now got my extrusion rate back to the faster speed.

I had the same scenario and the thrust berating was pulverized with no output.

The only thing I can think of is that maybe the auger/pipe is clogged up and needs a full cleaning?  This seems like the most likely scenario as there was a brief time when I used a different abs plastic when mg94 was hard to come by.

I basically just wanted to see if anyone else had any thoughts before I just take the whole thing apart.
