Trackpad getting harder to press

I have a 2017 Macbook Pro 15", and today my trackpad seems to be getting harder to press in the middle. Around the edges it feels normal, but in the center-ish where I usually rest my index finger, it's noticeably harder to press down, and today alone it's caused a ton of miss-clicks. I've restarted many times, including resetting SMC and PRAM, is there anything else I can do?

Pressing down decently hard on the trackpad and "massaging" the stiff area seems to have helped, so I'm assuming it got stuck on something.
