Bitrate fluctuating badly at random, frames dropping heavily

[SpadesSystem]

I'm a Twitch streamer, and I tried to go live today. My bitrate is typically around 3000, and last week I had zero issues with it. Today, my bitrate was fluctuating even in the starting screen when nothing was going on, going anywhere from 0 to 13000 and causing massive frame drops. I attempted to go live multiple times over the course of an hour and tried:
- Updating OBS
- Updating game drivers
- Changing games
- Restarting computer (multiple times)
- Restarting modem and router

Eventually I decided I wasn't going to be able to fix it in a timely manner and ended. I've attached all the relevant logs. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Dropped frames are due to internet connection instability. If you have Dynamic Bitrate checked under Advanced>Network it will auto adjust your bitrate up and down to help reduce or eliminate dropped frames.

We'll try that. Thanks!

Note: dynamic bitrate does not actually solve the underlying issue and can cause your stream encoder to crash if your connection is sufficiently unstable and you're using a hardware encoder.
