On my machine,
guix time-machine --commit=9fe5bb7 \
-- pull --commit=b828057 -p /tmp/new
works. What does it say on your machine?

Ouch! what I was in mind is that you GC time to time and not keep all
these versions. :-) For example, “guix pull --delete-generations=6m” to
keep only the last 6 months generations. Then the next “guix gc” will
remove all these old generations; well if you never roll-back to them.

Anyway, what I had in mind is to roll-back to the previous and try to
pull from this (generation 160 or 159).

You should split your profile as explained here:
<https://guix.gnu.org/cookbook/en/html_node/Guix-Profiles-in-Practice.html#Guix-Profiles-in-Practice>
For your initial problem, I do not know, it seems a transient network
failure. Maybe try to remove the folder “~/.cache/guix/substitute” and
try again.
All the best,
simon
