Streaming for 4 years, no hardware changes, all of a sudden Encoder/Rendering lags are crazy

I used to stream every night using OBS on Twitch. For almost 3 years I've been using an EVGA FTW3 RTX-3090 and using x264 for encoding. I am always making sure I am up to date on my NVIDIA and OBS files. I mainly play Destiny 2 (1440P @ 165HZ). I have two monitors, a Viewsonic Elite 27" 1440P 165HZ as my main gameplay monitor and a 1080P 144HZ monitor as my second monitor.
I've noticed in the last 2-3 months, that when I am streaming all of the sudden I was having consistent "Frames missed due to rendering lag" and "Frames missed to encoding lag" show up on the OBS Stats screen. At the same time it will say "Encoder Overloaded" on the bottom of the main OBS window. Prior to this, with the same video card and processor and same gameplay I would get 0 frames dropped due to rendering lag or encoding lag. I've tried x264 & NVENC for encoding and it still occurs.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Please do take a look at the pinned posts on this forum. A log file with an actual session where the issue happens is needed.
