I have been streaming to facebook live flawlessly for over three years now. I have made no changes to obs or facebook and then yesterday for no clear reason obes was no longer able to connect to facebook. I did all the normal things to check the stream key, all firewall issues etc.

Here is the current log section related to the livestream. I am not a computer programmer or anything like that. So I don't understand everything in the log. However I did make sure that the stream Bind was set to default as every video I checked suggested. I tried without a firewall that did not work and I checked the RTMP which I never fiddle with anyway and that was ok too.

Operating System current/updated, such that no certificate errors/issues?

Did you log into (via web browser) facebook's /live/producer? make sure nothing within Facebook's stream setting changed unexpectedly?
tried a new stream key?

Are you aware that Facebook changed stream limitations a few years ago, and I believe anyone can now stream at 1080p (I started at 720p30 3.5 years ago, and some time in 2021 (iirc) I changed that to 1080p30 (@7mb/s)

Hello Lawrence,
Thank you for responding. I believe I have checked all this points but I will again just in case.
