Cannot Connect to Scheduled YouTube Stream

I am using OBS Studio 27.1.3. I've been learning how to stream to YouTube, and everything is going great when I create new streams in OBS. However, if I attempt to connect to a scheduled YouTube stream, it is unable to connect. When selecting the scheduled stream, a window pops up saying it can't auto-start and that I need to press "Go Live". I then do that, but nothing further happens on YouTube's end. (OBS Studio acts like it is streaming correctly with 0 dropped frames.) I have checked the log and found this error:

Code:
15:36:34.362: [rtmp stream: 'simple_stream'] Connection to rtmps://a.rtmps.youtube.com:443/live2 successful
15:36:34.363: ==== Streaming Start ===============================================
15:36:44.300: YouTube API error:

15:36:44.300:     JSON: {"error": {"code": 403, "errors": [{"domain": "youtube.liveBroadcast", "extendedHelp": "https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/live/docs/liveBroadcasts/transition", "message": "Stream is inactive", "reason": "errorStreamInactive"}], "message": "Stream is inactive"}}

I am not currently using any additional plugins and have had the same problems on two different PCs. Is there anything I can do to successfully connect to a scheduled YouTube stream?
