YouTube stream ends, but OBS thinks it's still live

In general the OBS YouTube integration works very well.
One very odd thing though is that if you manually terminate the stream from YouTube (or if it dies due to some network problem),
OBS continues to think it's streaming -- indefinitely.
So from OBS it looks like you are streaming to YouTube, with no problems and no dropped frames, etc.
But your stream is just being dumped into the garbage with no warning.

Is there some way that OBS can detect that the stream is no longer being received by YouTube? This seems like a recipe for problems.

I don't think it's super important that OBS react a particular way to this problem -- as long as it indicates somehow that the stream is no longer live.

I'm on the latest beta (27.2.0) btw.
