I had this happen with a poulan pro 5020, did the exact same thing but in this case it wouldn’t even last two tanks.
In the end it was the spur as it was so out of spec it was peening the link causing the tie strap to bind. When the chain was really bad it would be very hard to turn and when the saw was running it was literally skipping violently.
If oil was the OP’s issue it would have been smoking after one or two cuts so I’m gonna confidently day spur
