Cross Forest Trust failing one direction suddenly - 0xc000005e "An Error occured during Logon"

Have two Forests with trust between. Suddenly trust is not working from Domain in Forest A to Domain in Forest B, but still working the other way around.

This happened once before due to time being out of sync, at which point I configured Forest B to retrieve time from Forest A and no issues since and definitely still in sync now.

Checked all the trust configuration and everything validates both ends OK. Either end can resolve the other domain and such fine.

Here is the error logged on the DC over in Forest B when someone from Forest A attempts say SMB access:
