Expected Behavior

When I set the bitrate to 1500 for example.
and start streaming, it should consume the same amount, but the bitrate goes to 11,000 and it just shows an internet problem, but on HQCBR this problem is correct.

Current Behavior

When I set it to cbr and the bitrate is 1500, for example, instead of streaming at the same bitrate, it automatically increases the bitrate to 11,000 and up to 16,000.

Steps to Reproduce

1.start stream

Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked OBS log and reproducing on Windows 11 with OBS Studio 32.2.1, AMD H.264, and CBR set to 1500, then compare it with HQCBR. Done means CBR remains near the configured bitrate during streaming without the reported 11,000–16,000 spike.
