Do Dual Streams try to keep Parity?

Do Dual Streams try to keep Parity?
I've been having tons of problems with Twitch as of late (seen here https://www.reddit.com/r/Twitch/comments/1o9ksnv/comment/nkivosl/ )
So I began to Stream on YouTube instead, and it's been going fine.

For the last 3 days, I've been streaming on both platforms, dual streaming with OBS using the Multiple RTMP outputs plugin (I switch to OBS from OBS LABS)
It had been running perfect, with both streams around 6000Kbps as it was supposed to be.

Then tonight, both streams were having the issue I described in the link above.

I'd have 10-20minutes of good, quality stream, then both stream would drop to a 1.5K then shoot up to 15-20K, before settling back to 6K once again and smoothing out.. this happens at regular intervals, at the same time on both streams.

I am using Twitch as my primary, and Youtube as my secondary so I am wondering if the program is trying to keep the two streams in parity... or am I really having the same issue with both connections?

I quit YOUTUBE about 2hrs into the stream, and the issue continues with Twitch alone... I did not test YouTube alone.

I am using Spectrum Business as my ISP, and have contacted them about this.. their reply was "Good news, we see no problem on our end, and we don't throttle"

So, I am trying to figure out what is going on.

Minor Update
Here's the log from last night's stream

Analyzer | OBS

OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) is free and open source software for video recording and live streaming. Stream to Twitch, YouTube and many other providers or record your own videos with high quality H264 / AAC encoding.

Here's the stream from 2 days ago when it was perfect

Someone pointed out there were 18 memory leaks in last night's stream, and 9 in the previous.
They suggested I update my software/drivers/firmware which I did for my system and capture card.

I honestly don't see where my capture card would be causing connectivity issues, but there were no more leaks on my 5 minute test.

If you have issues with a third party plugin you should contact its dev via the Discussion section on the particular third party plugin page, or where the dev have set for this.
The memory leaks are indeed causes by the plugin.

Most issues that start out of the blue like yours comes from a problem on the ISP, specifically for the RTMP protocol.
You may want to test your internet connection against Twitch servers using https://r1ch.net/projects/twitchtest
Anything below 90 quality is bad and probably an issue on the ISP.

Test streaming without the plugin (disable/remove it) to only one platform at a time and see if one or both are affected. If both are affected then the problem is directly associated to the RTMP protocol. If only one is affected, the ISP may have issues on a router or something else that is pointing to the wrong way for this platform.

I've been streaming for a decade now, and these issues with Twitch just started happening.
(This was 2-3 weeks ago, I just started dual streaming 3-4 days ago)

So I went through the entire process to troubleshoot it, and was still having issues.
I used twitch test, called my ISP to which their reply was "Good news, we see no problem on our end, and we don't throttle"

I migrated to YouTube and was having no issues for a week, then began to dual stream and it was fine for a couple/few days before the same issues I had with twitch alone popped up.

Which is why I was asking if the system was trying to create parity.
Someone pointed out I had a bunch of memory leaks so I think I fixed them by updating drivers and firmware.

Streamed dual stream last night for 5 minutes, no issue
Streamed Twitch alone for the last 4hrs and didn't have a single issue.
