Research direction

Start by reviewing the OBS Studio log at https://obsproject.com/logs/WzBBZDipTxmQwSy4 and reproducing the report on macOS 13.2.1 with OBS 29.0.2 on an M1 Max. Record fullscreen for 10–30 minutes, inspect the resulting video for frozen screen capture, and use the log to narrow down the affected capture path.
