This is now resolved. One of the extruder stepper wires on the board was loose. When I tugged on it, it came right out of the connector. Additionally, I found the extruder drive gear to be very worn and seemed to be slipping. I fixed the connection for the extruder and replaced the drive gear with a newer and more aggressive one. That seems to have resolved this issue.
Thank you everyone for your help.

@Norder The below is the config.g file that has been running on my machine under the 1.19 firmware since 2017. On that file I was using 64 microsteps and E392 steps per mm. Additionally when I tuned my motors those are the currents I came up with. The hotend does not have a PTFE tube in it, I swapped it out for a micro swiss all metal hotend. I have cleaned this out several times, I can easily push plastic out of it. All extruder commands to extrude filament result in 10 percent output of what the command originally called for. Call for 100 mm, get 10mm or call for 25mm and get 2.5mm.

The only thing that is not original on this file are lines related to heater 7 and probe settings. Everything else has been working for the last five years and only stopped after the firmware update. Is there something else that this could be?

@gloomyandy That is correct, no microstepping for the E drive. In the original code from the 1.19 firmware it was microstepped. I removed it during troubleshooting and found that I got the same under extrusion result.

Here is what it used to be:
M350 X256 Y256 Z64 E64 I1 ; Configure microstepping without interpolation
M92 X1280 Y1280 Z1600 E392 ; Set steps per mm

I understand that the I1 does the opposite of the comment but at the time of writing the original code I did not. It worked and didn't feel like changing it lol. As for the high microstepping, the machine runs much quieter this way which is far more important to me then the small amount of detail gained from a lower microstep.

I have a Wanhoa duplicator i3 that I retrofitted with a duet wifi 2. I has been running and working well for the past several years on firmware version 1.19. I decided to add a BLTouch to the system, but in order to use the sensor to its fullest without workarounds I needed to update the firmware to the current version. After this update I found that my extruder is under extruding and by a factor of 10. Doing an extruder calibration and trying to feed 100 mm of filament, the extruder only extrudes 10. The nozzle is not clogged and it does this regardless of how I change my Steps per mm for the extruder motor. Yesterday I set my steps to 1000 instead of 100 in the below code and it still only extruded 10 mm instead of 100. I am beginning to question my own sanity. These parameters worked for years but suddenly don't now. Can someone please help me with this? The code below is from my config file.
