I cleaned the nozzle one final time, got new PLA filament, and installed a fan to cool the PEEK part of the hotend.
Now it works flawlessly.
Thanks everyone for your help.

hi, seems to have the same problem. before switching to v2, can you show how you keep the peek cooled and why this helps? thanks!
He has a fan aimed at the print head instead of at the print bed. For some people, especially with V1 print head design, heat slowly goes up the print head. Especially if you have lots of retraction that pulls the heat up allowing warmer filament to touch the inside walls. Then eventually it gets hot enough to soften the PLA and you get upper-print-head clogs.
Usually the clogs happen only after a long time. For example after 5 hours of printing.
