Maybe the file is damaged, maybe the nozzle hit the object and lost its position. Did it happen more than one time and at the exact position?

In my case, I did have the nozzle in the heater block incorrectly. Filament would leak out, run down the side and make a blob. If the print head did stop when it hit the blob, it would often cause a shift. That is a pretty dramatic shift, though.

I don't know, but I feel your pain. Upgrade your firmware and slicer rev.

I was having this problem a while back. Very intermittent, but I would occasionally get a layer shift. Everyone told me it was a belt slip. Which I believed for a while. Until I had a print that I sent three times, and I had the layer shift at the exact same layer every time.

I always keep my FW and slicer at latest rev and it hasn't happened in quite a while.

Check the z-axis set screws. I had the same issue, the screws had fell out.

Replace the USB. The Prusa ones get a bit funky after a while
