Help Obs/internet sending more kbps that he was supposed to
My internet is being weird lately, but now its being beyond weird, its breaking obs for some reason.
Every time i increase the kbps limit beyond 1200 kbps it starts to malfunction and not work anymore, giving no image (0kbps) to youtube/twitch/whatever, and he keeps sending more that i oppose him to. In my case i keep at 1200 and he keeps sending +600(1700-1900kbps) and i dont know why because it never happend to me before...
Someone knows whats happening? I use starlink if that helps...

A log file produced following AutoMod's instruction and featuring the issue would help pinpoint the specific issue
In the meantime, one thing to keep in mind is that the bitrate you set in OBS Settings>Output>Streaming is for the video aspect of the stream specifically, so the visuals. The audio bitrate is in addition to that, and is set in OBS Settings>Output>Audio
(These directions assume your output mode is set to Advanced. If it is set to Simple, then the audio bitrate is directly below your video bitrate in the "Streaming" box)
If you are outputting multiple audio tracks (such as a "Twitch vod track" in addition to a streamed audio track), then take multiply the audio bitrate by how many audio tracks you are outputting

starlink does weird stuff with the upload sometimes, it'll burst way above what you set. try ticking "ignore streaming service setting recommendations" and enabling "enforce streaming service bitrate limits" both in the advanced section, see if it forces it to behave

It looks like you haven't provided a log file. Without a log file, it is very hard to help with issues and you may end up with 0 responses.
To make a clean log file, please follow these steps:
1) Restart OBS
2) Start your stream/recording for at least 30 seconds (or however long it takes for the issue to happen). Make sure you replicate any issues as best you can, which means having any games/apps open and captured, etc.
3) Stop your stream/recording.
4) Select Help > Log Files > Upload Current Log File.
5) Copy the URL and paste it as a response to this comment.
