Nozzle after some layers stops extruding

Hi everyone, I need your help.

After starting a print, everything seems fine, but suddenly (sometimes during the first layer, other times afterward at any % progress) the nozzle stops extruding and the printer continues to move.

The result is a piece cut in half. I can't figure out why: I removed the outer casing and checked that the fan was working. There was some dust and it wouldn't always turn on, so I cleaned it and it worked again (the one on the shell).

Then I manually cleaned the extruder with the thin metal rod that comes with it. On the next print, the piece was half finished, marking 100% print, and continued to move without extruding.

I only print PLA, an Elegoo that I've already used several times.

Thank you.
