Question / Help Dropping Frames every few minutes.

Hey all,

So my issue is that my stream will randomly start dropping tons of frames. It won't completely cutoff the video stream, but it will be a much lower fps for 5-10 seconds, then return to normal. I have two vods, along with time stamps and the logs at the end of the post. Note, the first log has lots of recording/stopping as I adjusted audio levels before going live.

From the logs, I can deduce that the frame drops are network related

00:49:43.094: Output 'simple_stream': Number of lagged frames due to rendering lag/stalls: 1 (0.0%)
00:49:43.094: Output 'simple_stream': Number of dropped frames due to insufficient bandwidth/connection stalls: 13740 (2.6%)

When using the twitch server tester, it said I should be capable of streaming ~7500 to US East servers, and about ~10000 to the Canadian servers. I'm streaming with NVENC at 6000.

Things I've tried:

Lowering bitrate to 4000/5000, frames still drop
Changing to a quebec streaming server, frames still drop
Unticking "enforce streaming service caps" in OBS, assuming it throttled me in some way, frames still drop
Kept track of temps/%usages, no issues present
Lowering quality preset from High Quality down to Low Latency-HQ

Things I havn't tried:

A different streaming service
X264 instead of NVENC (Will try this shortly)

Thanks for any help

So just straight up no issues with config or bitrate or options or anything? Just an isp/routing issue?
