Did that last time and it was squealing like mad lol. But my belt was loose at the time. I'll check the tension tomorrow, think I checked it a couple of months ago and was fine. -
You can also get belt dressing in a spray can which can help to settle a belt in that otherwise wants to slip. -
Gosh these Rb pulleys/alternator or whatever is causing the problem is absolute rubbish lol. Haven't even done that many km on it.

Yeah man, will only progress further hopefully. The bonnet is coming off to get sprayed very soon -

Once the belt slips it can very easily cause a cascade that encourages more belt slip. Check the pulleys carefully and see if the grooves have cupped. If it has it's time to replace the pulleys. If the rubber has glazed you also need to replace it. Shouldn't be shiny. From the factory there's a lot of exposed fibers(?) on a v-belt that will go away as it's broken in but some should still remain visible without sticking out significantly like a new belt. I went through this on my dad's Camry recently. It would keep slipping even after setting the tension higher, only solution was a new belt.
