Question / Help Broadcast cuts/ends every 2 hours and 3 minutes

Greetings everyone!

I am having the weirdest issue when it comes to Broadcasting using OBS. I've never had this issue before and it only started happening after I upgraded my rig with a new CPU, MOBO, SSD, and reinstalled Windows. I've tried everything under the sun to try and address this issue and now I am asking the community for help.

Here is an explanation as to what is happening. When streaming to Twitch my broadcast will drop to 0 bitrate and stay at 0 until I Stop and Start the stream over again. It happens EVERY 2 hours and 3 minutes. It is a consistent issue, you can see from my past broadcasts on my channel, every one of my past broadcasts end around 2h 3m. I've reinstalled OBS multiple times and played around with my scenes and sources, still no luck.

I streamed for 6 hours last night and it happened 3 times to me at exactly 2h and 3m in. I'm absolutely stumped as to what could be causing it. If anyone has any advice as to troubleshooting this, I am all ears. I will attach my latest log file from last night.

Thanks,

You are disconnected from your streaming service. It appears as a network error:
22:43:11.678: WriteN, RTMP send error 10054 (148 bytes) 22:43:11.678: WriteN, RTMP send error 10054 (79 bytes) 22:43:11.678: WriteN, RTMP send error 10038 (42 bytes) 22:43:11.678: [rtmp stream: 'adv_stream'] Disconnected from rtmp://live-iad.twitch.tv/app
It's no OBS issue, it's a network or streaming service issue. OBS isn't dropping the connection.
This is the general network issues guide: https://obsproject.com/wiki/Dropped-Frames-and-General-Connection-Issues

Even if it seems some automated connection drop after exactly 2 hours, it's nothing that is originated from OBS. It's originated from somewhere between your local network and the streaming server.

It may even be that your internet provider or some backbone provider started to interrupt such streaming sessions after 2 hours to avoid too high internet bandwidth consumption due to the corona crisis.

Thank you for your response.

I've talked with my ISP and had a Technician come out, confirming no issues on their end.
I guess my Router could be causing this? But I haven't changed any settings. Also, this has been happening before the whole Corona crisis.

Just realized OBS was not on the allowed list for my Firewall settings, just added it now.

I also enabled "Network Optimizations" to see if this helps at all during next stream.
I'll post an update if this fixes anything.

Thanks again,
