Sorry, circuit breaker. Thanks for clarifying.
The lights in the kitchen are recessed canisters. All of them are at the same brightness level whether it’s the full thing or 75%, so it has to be either the switch or a voltage issue

I don't think this is good. It sounds like you have some non-dimmable bulbs on a circuit with a dimmer. That will always end badly.
I would disconnect the wires from the first fixture that started flickering and see if that solves your problem.
Do you have a dimmer or a switch? For troubleshooting, you can replace the dimmer with a simple on-off switch and see if everything works properly like that. If it does, then its a poor interaction between the dimmer and the LEDs. Not all dimmers are rated for LED's and not all LED's are dimmable. Check what you have...

Both the hallway light and kitchen lights are regular on/off switches, no dimmers.

Thanks. That makes troubleshooting easier.

I would start at the junction box for the switch to the kitchen lights then. Look for burnt looking stuff, loose wire nuts.
