Question / Help Unable to Stream to Scheduled YouTube Events

I'm having a strange issue with YouTube that just started recently. Back on October, I scheduled a live event on my YouTube channel, that I was then able to stream to with OBS Studio like normal. When I tried to stream to two separate scheduled events this week, I kept getting an error that it could not access the specified stream key. In both instances, I had to resort back to using my YouTube channel's "direct" live stream rather than the scheduled event live stream, which is not ideal because invites were sent out to 6,000+ people to go directly to the scheduled event and not our live stream channel. And yes, I am copying and pasting the respective stream keys for these events, not trying to use the wrong one or anything.

TL;DR: I can stream to our Live channel but not our scheduled live events. The only setting that changes is the stream key. Our Live channel stream key works, but not the keys for the scheduled events, when they used to work a couple months ago.

Any thoughts?

Here's the relevant portions of the log:

This seems to be something you'll need to bring up with Youtube if one works and the other does not. OBS has no concept of scheduled vs live events, it just streams to the specified URL / key.
