Those gaps are most likely due to the Z axis moving too far suddenly. If the Z axis moves too far then you basically have underextrusion. However it could be that the filament is too tight in the bowden (varying filament diameter) or tangled filament or a few other issues. But it looks like each time it's an entire layer. Maybe you could verify if those lines go ALL THE WAY around or not. If not then it's not a Z issue.
Z issues are a pain to figure out. Usually bad bearings/sticky bearings or bad Z nut or bad z screw(s). If the bed moved up and down I'd say put a brick on the bed to see if it makes it much worse or much better and if so it's a Z issue. But I don't think you have a bed that goes up and down so I really have no idea. This is an Ultimaker/cura forum. Not a creality forum.

Cura 5.7 is here and it brings a handy new workflow improvement when using Thingiverse and Cura together, as well as additional capabilities for Method series printers, and a powerful way of sharing print settings using new printer-agnostic project files! Read on to find out about all of these improvements and more.
S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
(Sorry, was out of office when this released)
This update is for...
All UltiMaker S series
New features
Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.

That's underextrusion.
