No, I am not using a VPN.
I probably should have said this, but It's been happening for a month and I only recently found this forum. I know it started happening when I used the websocket feature in OBS, but even after disabling it the problem is still persisting.
PaiSand, thank you for your insight. I will also reach out to streamelements, but it happenes on the normal Twitch Chat built into OBS too.
