Confusing Rendering Lag Issue

Greetings,
I've setup a few boxes running OBS, but am not an expert by far. However, a local bee keeper has asked me to help them setup a HiveStream (you read that right). A 24/7 youtube view of their beehive.

They have invested some resources into this, but are having trouble with two things.

1. The stream dies after a few hours. I tweaked things significantly, and managed to give them an 80 hour run, but it died.
2. I think that has to do with a Rendering Lag issue.

I've run DPL Latency Monitor and their older box (with an NVIDIA card) seems adequate.

They are rural, and have recently upgraded their internet. I ran speed tests. They are getting good speed. (with one exception. They hard wire their network camera to a wireless AP then transmit it via wifi to another part of the building. There could be something in the wifi that causes the drop, but I haven't tested that specifically yet).

More concerning is the Rendering Lag. I have to drop the fps to 10 in order to have good stats, and keep the bitrate rather low (720 w/ 1150 bitrate)

I'll attach the log from the 80 hour stream, as well as my most recent one with everything set really low. Any advice is appreciated. I've changed things a few times to experiment so you may catch something that is just plain wrong... my bad.

OK... I just ran the logs through the Log Analyzer for OBS... doesn't look like a good hardware configuration. Can someone let me know though if a lagging system can sustain itself for days then finally crap out? I don't want to recommend a hardware upgrade unless its necessary.

Change CQP to 20 (as default)
Bring it down by 1 each time till you begin to get rendering / encoding lag, then bring it back UP 1.

CQP: 0 Requires major hardware

Run OBS as admin
