Mysterious band around the whole print coming and going away randomly

Troubleshooting

Hello,I have Bambu P2S I'm printing a base for trophy I've modeled from PETG, and I've noticed that on some of the prints I'm getting a band around the whole print like this:

The band doesn't appear on every print or at the same layer, it comes and goes, I've had prints without the band as well, I've gathered a few examples and highlighted where the band is (the prints are not ordered)

In between the bases I've been printing these from PLA and I've had no bands on them:

I've tried these things:

  • Printing with open top
  • Printing with open top and slightly opened door
  • Printing from AMS Slot 4,1 and 2
  • Printing from external spool holder

I have absolutely no clue what could be causing this and how can I remove it.
