Viewing *how* a recording ended in logs

Heya,

I was wondering if there was any way to view how a recorded was stopped in an OBS log?
Recently, my recordings have seemed to stop prematurely, and I don't think I pressed any hotkey - but if logs show what's stopping it (CPU overload, hotkey pressed, etc), then that would be super helpful.
Is there any way to see this information? If not, any recommendations?

I removed my end-recording hotkey super recently, but I just want to know if that's the cause.

If you look into your logfile after the recording has stopped, locate the final entries of the recording session, especially the "Output of file <filename> stopped". Look for entries before this entry that indicate a stop reason. If you press a hotkey to stop, it gets a log entry, as well as if recording stopped due to the output timer. If there is no reason to find in the log, the user clicked the "stop recording" button.
