Im having problems with my bitrate

[Jwavy]

Ive tried everything from changing my video encoder, changing the resolution all that stuff. Idk what the problem is. Sometimes I dont have problems with my bitrate and its consistent but then it just drops out of no where. You think its my internet??

From the pinned posts on this very forum:

Please post a log with your issue! Here's how...

OBS Studio creates a log file each time you run it which contains very useful diagnostic information. Without a log file, it's much harder for any support volunteers to figure out problems and your post may be ignored. To upload a log file, go to the Help menu > Log Files > Upload Last Log...

Could be... or could be your LAN, or WAN link... no way to know with what you posted.
See Dropped frame FAQ.

If you are using WiFi, or cellular connection ... that could be your problem... neither of those provide as stable bandwidth, jitter, and latency as wired connections typically do. In dense urban areas, neighbor WiFi devices can interfere. Or you could have something using your upload bandwidth you aren't thinking of / aware of (could be oversight on your part, or could be something malicious (not that frequently), or ?? lots of possibilities)..
Unless you setup and analyze real-time network monitoring, you'll never know why you run into bandwidth contention at times (sort of like driving blind-folded.. you won't know what caused those 'bumps')
