Random Pauses and the Resumes

Hi,

I noticed today that my printer is pausing randomly for a few seconds and then resumes. I am not noticing anything wrong with the print it is currently in the middle of. It has about 10 hours to go so I can't do any troubleshooting. When it pauses sometimes it's for about half a second and then continues and other times it could pause for up to 4 seconds. Almost as if it was taking a breath. I don't notice anything on the LCD when it does this although sometimes on longer pauses the percentage display switches to SmthPLA and then goes back to the percentage when it resumes. 

Temperature is really stable on both the nozzle and bed. I'm running the latest firmware and the printer is stock.

I am using some new filament I have never tried before that was actually giving me some issues when I first ran it through. I won't know for certain if that could be the issue until tomorrow when the print finishes but I was wondering if anybody had experienced this issue before?

Here is a video of the issue.

RE:

I just spoke with Prusa Support and they told me it could be my Octopi install. I did update it right before I uploaded the gcode and I found some reddit posts with similar issues pointing to Octopi.
