Randomly dropping bitrate.

[ItsHeddy]

Been streaming for nearly 2 years now and this is a brand new issue that I can't figure out how to solve. When I'm streaming my bitrate will suddenly drop to 500 or less. I usually stream at 5k bitrate in 1080p. It will maintain this for a while and suddenly drop for maybe an hour or 2 then shoot back up to 5k. It happens at different points in the day. I am on a wired connection. I've tried everything possible on my end. Changed twitch server. Restarted router/modem etc. I can't think of any other way to troubleshoot this issue.

Here is my most recent log file.

This may be caused by network congestion or a problem on the side of your ISP, who usually refuse to admit it.

You should use the utility to select the best speed and server.

TwitchTest | r1ch.net

Test your upload bandwidth and connection quality to Twitch

r1ch.net

You can check for packet loss to available hosts when a problem occurs.
Use the WinMTR utility and specify the selected rtmp server in the address, as shown in the screenshot.
Twitch server addresses can be found here:

Twitch Streamers - Twitch Ingest Recommendation

stream.twitch.tv

Loss - shows packet loss. If they are, then you must show this to your provider.
request timed out - the host may be closed for security purposes, this is normal.

Finally, you can try specifying a dynamic bitrate in OBS, but that doesn't fix the underlying problem.
