As described in the title my project uses multiple devices. Mainly a DS3231 RTC, MPU 6050, A couple of level shifters to shift the logic level from my 3.3v Seeeduino Xiao.
A I2C .96inch OLED. Last but not least the SD card module with built in level shifter.
Yes I know SD cards run better natively at 3.3v however due to the fact all my other devices are 5V id like to keep it this way. I have however tested removing and bypassing the 3.3V regulator on a spare sd module I had, feeding it 3.3v directly. It does work with example sketch but not with my code.
I am aware that the string class is incredibly inefficient use of sram, However I am still new to this and haven't had the time to look into it yet. I do not believe this is my problem as the code never manages to open the file. It will initialize the card no problem, but when it comes to writing it doesn't work.
Outside of my main sketch the sd card works on its own, I figure im getting some interference between a couple of the libraries however im unable to work out which library is causing me the
issues.
My code is sloppy please be kind however, constructive criticism and pointers are well appreciated. I've been at this for two days now ready to start banging my head against a wall so any help is more than appreciated.

What I have tried...... Rewired it like a dozen times, however the example sketches work so I doubt this is the issue. I have searched far and wide across the web for someone else experiencing the same issue. Have yet to find something similar.
The most frustrating part is if I open the file in setup it works. Trying to open in loop fails every time. Could this be a SPI speed problem?? I apologize as I do not have an great wiring diagram as it is still a prototype on a breadboard.
I will also include the serial monitor below and compiler information, maybe some of you pros might spot something I do not see. Thanks

Just as I finished typing this post and wanting to prove it does not work it started working again. Intermittent af. So confused, anyone have any clarity or ideas to provide Thanks..
