AMF Encoder drops 100% of frames due to 'encoder lag' after some time streaming on latest AMD drivers.

I've found that AMD driver versions above the recommended 20.4.2 seem to cause OBS to begin dropping 100% of frames due to encoder lag after about an hour or so of streaming.

I've not had this issue at all on 20.4.2 only versions above. Obviously I've downgraded to fix the issue figured I'd report it here in case it's a obs compatibility issue with the driver.
I've attached my latest log from today where I had 2 such instances happen. It doesn't really reveal anything from what I can tell. The Encoder seems to just silently die.
For what it's worth obs also can't stop the stream when this happens. I have to click the stop stream button twice to make it work.

1. In Windows 10 versions 1809 and newer, we recommend that "Game Mode" be enabled for maximum gaming performance. Game Mode can be enabled via the Windows 10 "Settings" app, under Gaming > Game Mode
2. Try lowering your streaming FPS to 30.
