I haven’t counted on it, but... it’s both good and bad.
Can you please comment back if this happens again? -

Yes Cycling the smart guides fixed it. not sure why but for like the last week i needed to have a custom menu. i even ticked on and off auto add and delete and it still was not working. that was strange. v29.2.1 updated 25 days ago but it was just a problem yesterday and today.
sycling the smart guides fixed it. now its back to normal? -
@Bradley, can you share this file, please?
Am I right thinking the problem stop if you disable Smart Guides? -
im having a similar bug and the add anchor point is not showing when hovering over the line just shows the path no add point. i can select the tool in the menu but i need to call out ADA compliance here that going to the menu to add a point is not the way.

Hey, I managed to find what may be the solution for this.
Sometimes, and I don't know why (as there's no shortcut assigned), the 'Snap to grid' view get's turned on. Then the pen tool will only add a point when you are hovering over a grid intersection. So; turn off snap to grid (view>snap to grid) and hopefully that solves it.The images show the same line with the pen tool in the same place:
