Wet filament can do that. Even new filament can be wet some times, especially with rarer colors that sit around in storage for much longer.

Oh I didn't even consider this I'ma try this first

This filament has been sitting out for a while so this seems very possible

Toss it in a box with dessicant packs for a few days. If it's not flexible and breaks easily, it's too moist.

Can look up tables of temperatures and times for using an oven to dry various filaments. Putting in sealed container with desiccant could work but will take much longer

Put it in the oven on a really low heat (like really low) should dry it out in like an hour or so.
