Question / Help OBS says I am dropping frames, but the stream is perfect? Any ideas.

This has happened a few times over the last week or so. I will start my stream, it will start to say I am dropping frames, like crazy, but as I watch the playback on my streaming pc or my phone, it never drops any visible frames. Any ideas what could cause OBS to do this.

Here is the VOD to my stream yesterday and a copy of the log from OBS

Thanks for any help or insight you can give.

Like crazy?
22:54:43.021: Output 'adv_stream': Number of dropped frames due to insufficient bandwidth/connection stalls: 66927 (4.9%)

Only 4.9%, that's why it's barely visible at all :-)

Did you watch any of the VOD? It happened in spikes randomly over the time... It would hold bitrate for 30 to 45 minutes and then spike down... I would watch the stream on two separate devices while I was doing it and wait and watch up to a minute each time and it never dropped frames?
