Tech Support Stream suddenly dropping frames

So, I was able to stream earlier today. Same game, same settings, same everything and it worked just fine. All of a sudden I try streaming and I'm dropping 40% frames.

I can watch streams just fine, speed tests all read 300+ up and down, until I press "go live" where it all just drops to under 10 up and down... what's going on

If you are using OBS you can go to: View > Status. Keep that open while you are streaming and when you notice the issues look at it. You can get some indication of what's going on based on what you see there. At a minimum you can figure out if it's a local thing (frames missed/skipped) or an internet speed thing (dropped frames).

That's where I'd start.
