Question / Help OBS crashing frequently

Hello! I started streaming to Twitch about 2 months ago. Unfortunately OBS is now crashing so frequently that I can't use it. I am using a wired internet connection that is stable to the best of my knowledge. The PC is pretty new with good specs. Only streaming Photoshop and some music currently, no games. I made sure to update OBS to 21.1.2. I experienced these crashes once during one of my first few streams, then a few weeks with no trouble, and now it's happening about 3 times per 3 hour stream. During the most recent instances I have run into some kind of error when trying to reconnect very quickly. It would pause, give a message about being unable to connect, that my key might be incorrect. But then connect no trouble on the second try. Sometimes after a crash my dropped frame percentage will spike to around 40% and settle back down with time. I've reset my router mid stream with no luck. Had strikingly similar trouble with Streamlabs OBS last night except it crashes without the courtesy of a notification. Attached are a log and crash log from one stream. I would really like to keep using OBS over another program if possible. Thanks for reading. Let me know if I left out any necessary info!
