soooooo when I record with obs, for example for 20 minutes and then stop, when I go to see the archive it says 6 minutes, and this happens with longer recordings, say with a 1:50 hour recording, and the archives appears as if I would have recorded 20 minutes.
Anyone got a solution?

Please post a log with your issue! Here's how...

OBS Studio creates a log file each time you run it which contains very useful diagnostic information. Without a log file, it's much harder for any support volunteers to figure out problems and your post may be ignored. To upload a log file, go to the Help menu > Log Files > Upload Last Log...

1. what @Harold said, so we can see your OBS settings

2. Your description is typical of a computer overwhelmed by what you've specifically asked it to do. Which leads to the important question - are your OBS settings unreasonable for your PC? is your PC simply not up to the task, regardless of settings? or do you need to optimize (or upgrade) your Operating system and/or computer setup?
*if* your OBS settings are 'wonky', then someone will hopefully spot that in your OBS log. You can also have an automated analyzer check your log... see my .sig for the link on this site
If you have background tasks consuming needed hardware resources (CPU, GPU, RAM, Disk I/O), your OBS log most likely won't show that. Doing some real-time hardware resource utilization monitoring in such a case may help identify one or more bottlenecks
