Need new YouTube stream key every time I live stream

I don't know if I changed a setting unknowingly, but every time I live stream to YouTube I have to reset the stream key before I can live stream again.

I can view the stream key as pasted into the field in OBS and see that it's identical to what appears in my YouTube channel settings. But if I try to live stream a subsequent time after the first (successful) stream, it won't appear on YouTube. But if I reset the stream key, copy and paste in the new key into OBS, and save that it'll work again -- once.

Any suggestions are really welcome, thanks!
 
Was there any update on this? i'm having the same trouble and not finding much info on a solution.
It appears that the issue was resolved with a recent OBS update -- within the past month or so I no longer needed to continue to re-copy and paste the same stream key back into OBS every time I started a new stream. I hope that has cleared up the same for you.
 
No. No it was not fixed in any recent update. 27.7.21 here today.
Totally botched a great and rare stream I had with friends. Reminds me WHY I left youtube for TWITCH to begin with!!!
