PS5 Controller tanks bitrate to red while connected via bluetooth

What it says on the tin. I got myself a PS5 Controller recently and it works wonders with PC in both wired and bluetooth mode. Except when it comes to streaming. At first I thought internet was just being fucky because internet was actually being fucky an hour two in of my first stream using the PS5 controller (in wired mode). I tried to switch to wireless during the stream and coincidentally, internet actually started being fucky at the time (which I found out later after my stream was done cause my family also had problems with internet at the same time). So I tested out wireless connection off stream. Worked fine. So I figured the tanked bitrate was really just inernet being fucky. The next day, internet is fine and dandy so I figure I can stream again. But the bitrate is still in the red. Took me an hour to think that maybe it might be PS5 Controller wireless connection and I admit the thought sounded a bit ridiculous in my head cause I never had any troube with other bluetooth connected devices during streams. But lo and behold, the moment I turned off the Controller while it was in bluetooth mode the bitrate turned green. When I turned it on again, it turned red. Did a few times with the same result. Then turned off bluetooth and connected the controller in wireless mode. Bitrate stays green.

The drivers for all involved software and devices is up to date.
OBS 28.1.2
Windows 10 / OS Build 19044.2364 / Windows Experience Pack 120.2212.4190.0

If anyone has a solution to fix this it would be greatly appreciated because the cable is really annoying.
