Confused... Log analyzer gives advice, twitch inspector is happy

Hi.

My game is butterly smooth on screen, but the Twitch stream and VOD shows some hickups. Not that big, but not smooth. Being a perfectionist, I started an investigation.

Log analyzer gives no critical issues and no warnings. Only a Blue info: "Your stream encoder is set to a video bitrate that is too low. This will lower picture quality especially in high motion scenes like fast paced games. Use the Auto-Config Wizard to adjust your settings to the optimum for your situation. It can be accessed from the Tools menu in OBS, and then just follow the on-screen directions."

When I look at the Twitch inspector, it gives me: "configuration check: Excellent. No recommended changes!" and "stable @ 6,005 Kbps"

NVidia RTX4090, Intel i11700K. OBS CPU at about 2%. Used encoder NVENC, H2.64. Video bitrate set at 6000 Kbps. Streaming 1080p at 60FPS. During streaming (for hours) zero dropped frames (0.0%). OBS 31.0.3 Flatpack. OpenSuse Tumbleweed up-to-date, Wayland two monitors, both capped at 60Hz. M2 SSD drive.

I am slightly confused. Why is the log analyzer saying: "video bitrate too low" but is Twitch inspector quite happy.
And, IF log analyzer is right, what would be the desired bitrate for Twitch? As I am already at 6000Kbps, which is (i believe) Twitch maximum.

And... any idea why I still see tiny stutters in live stream and VOD, although Twitch inspector shows green flags.

Attached the logfile. Am I allowed to give you the Twitch URL to the video, so you can see it yourself?

Just curious what to do now ;)
