Up to an hour of delay

Hi everyone. This is my first time posting here.

I was streaming today, up to the two hours I usually stream, when I noticed that, as I was ending the stream, the stream itself was still going, one hour delayed. I literally have no idea what happened, since this is the first time this has happened, specially this badly, and, as far as I know, the stream was going well at first. I didn't change anything on my setup, and my previous stream worked properly.

I'm uploading what I think is the proper log of the stream. IDK how much that will help.

Having same problem. My live stream becomes more and more delayed and I see no way for how to restart at the current time. Did you ever find a solution?

Where to start?
1. see log yourself... see all those &^%$^!# streamelement errors... not helping.. such PoS s/w...
2. older CPU - what are you doing for real-time hardware resource monitoring, especially with filters and effects in place?
the above being potential root causes. outcome :
20:48:54.282: Output 'simple_stream': Number of dropped frames due to insufficient bandwidth/connection stalls: 266755 (65.0%)​
20:48:55.043: Video stopped, number of skipped frames due to encoding lag: 235606/410359 (57.4%)​

I'd start by dropping from 60fps to 30. Make sure your PC not bottlenecking (especially CPU).
CPU bottlenecking, streamelements PoS, etc may be causing network to stall (not actually a bandwidth issue.. can't be sure at this point). but you could also easily be having bandwidth contention. See Help articles here, or the MANY discussions on this.
And then it appears you've changed default settings on encoding (ex using Bicubic downscale filter, which is what I use as well... but you need extra PC horsepower for that)
