Less disruptive fix for Contacts sync on Mac

Contacts sync fixed by full iCloud sign-out on one Mac—less disruptive fix for second Mac?

Try quitting Contacts, turning iCloud Contacts off in System Settings, choose Keep on Mac, restart, then turn it back on. If that fails, use Contacts > File > Export Archive first, then a full sign-out on that Mac as last resort.
