Please help! American Flag problem on the Fourth!

Happy Fourth!

I have had zero issues with my XCarve until this morning, trying to make a American flag (I have made hundreds of these before). For some reason, the cuts are horrible and it doesn’t seem to be cleaning cutting the wood at all. I have posted a picture below. My spindle is set on 1, I am using a fresh v-bit, i just don’t know what is causing this.

Anyone have any ideas?

Did a belt break?
Something came loose

I agree with Russell, some very unusual tool paths seen there in your image.
Possibly a broken/loose wire?
