It sounds like you've already done a lot of troubleshooting and maintenance on your Ender 3 V2 to try to improve print quality. Since you mentioned that the print quality has been progressively getting worse over a few months and tightening the belts didn't seem to make a significant difference, here are a few more things you can check:

Check the Extruder Assembly: Make sure the extruder assembly is clean and properly calibrated. The tension on the filament should be correct to prevent under or over extrusion.
Inspect the Nozzle: The nozzle might be partially clogged, leading to inconsistent extrusion. Try cleaning or replacing the nozzle.
Check Bed Leveling: Make sure your bed is leveled properly. An uneven bed can cause issues with first layer adhesion and overall print quality.
Calibrate the E-steps: Ensure that your E-steps are calibrated correctly in your firmware. This helps in proper extrusion.
Update Firmware: Make sure your printer's ...

sorry, i'm thinking more along the lines of..."if it's to hot touch"
I think it's around 60 - 70 degrees is normal.... any hotter just reduces the lifespan. 😅
