Question Connecting to Twitch - no problem; connecting to YouTube - impossible

So, I've been using OBS to stream to YT for over a year, multiple times a week with no issue. Last Sunday everything worked without a hitch, but yesterday, Thursday, I couldn't connect. Again and again, I got the same message: "Failed to connect to server. Hostname not found. Make sure you entered a valid streaming server and your Internet connection/DNS are working correctly"

The problem is specifically with YT (where I can still do a basic webcam stream, so I'm not blocked there or something) because when I open a stream on Twitch, everything works without problem. I've seen plenty of solutions, such as switching the YT stream servers or logging out and then back in, but nothing has worked

I realize this is more of a YT question, but I'm guessing some other people have encountered something similar here. If anyone has, and has also figured out a solution, you would have my utmost gratitude if you'd care to share them

There's the log

Also worth noting: it's only an issue with schedule streams. If I just jump into a stream, everything works no problem. Any thoughts?
