Did you change the printing speed or layer height? If you increase the layer height you should probably decrease the printing speed by the same amount.
I doubt the retraction speed is the issue. You can probably go to infinite speed and the printer firmware should limit the speed to a safe amount.
There may be too many retractions. Are you printing something with hundreds of small islands on the layer that fails?
More likely you increased the layer height without slowing down the speeds.
Type "speed" in the settings search bar and it will show you the 7 or so printing speeds. I prefer to print with the same speed for infill, inner, outer shell, top and bottom. So I would put the speeds back to default, then lower the fastest speed (usually infill) by 33% (assuming you increased layer height by about 33%: 0.2 to 0.28mm). Make sure all the speeds are below that speed. You don't have to lower all the speeds, just the ones over that limit (the limit of fastest speed X 0.2 / 0.28).
Or set all the speeds to your current outer shell speed (and also make sure they are all below that stated speed limit I mentioned).

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.
