Question / Help My video doesn't record properly

So one day I was adjusting the recording quality (graphics/resolution) and frame rate but then my computer and apps/games lag too and the recording doesn't record anything like it gets cut off and freezes on my video. Here is the recording I did for my YouTube channel and take a look of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ds3uhN2VuyU
When I start recording, on the bottom, it said "encoding overloaded' so I don't know what to do at this point and my friend told me to lower down the bit rate and it would be less laggy but I don't really see the difference.

Post your obs log.

and my friend told me to lower down the bit rate and it would be less laggy
Your friend doesn't know what causes encoding overload. Bitrate has precisely NOTHING to do with encoding overload.
