[PS5] POE2 - Constant Stuttering and Frequent Freezing with No Crash

I've been playing on my PS5 via wired connection for months and haven't experienced any major issues. For the past two days, my game keeps completely freezing. When this happens, no matter how long I wait, the screen is frozen and the game does not crash/close. This first occurred when I would enter my hideout (limestone), but the issue would go away for about 20 minutes if I restarted the game.

Today I loaded a nice waystone onto a Savannah map, and as soon as I entered the portal, the game was stuttering and freezing like crazy. No matter what I did, this would not fix itself. I restarted the game, and it loaded me right back into a frozen Savannah map. I managed to teleport out and everything was smooth, but as soon as I re-entered the Savannah map, the game would freeze. I even tried putting in a new waystone, but that map was still stuttering/freezing to the point of being unplayable.

I restarted the game, put a new waystone into a totally different map, and it's working fine again (for now). Any help is appreciated!

Can provide PSN in PM.
