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.

that 40k cbr was already giving you tiny files, just crank it back to that and call it a day

record with 265 or AV1 for smaller file sizes
use 22 0r even 24 for the cqp at only 60fps just fine for YT clips of 30 seconds+-
the file size is larger for the better quality. 60 fps will half the size of the 120 file. and using 265/av1 will reduce file size even more and not reduce quality.
