my obs has been taking up ALL of my cpu

Ive been using OBS to stream on twitch ever since i got tired of streamlabs crashing and not being able to stream on yt and twitch at the same time, but recently its been using up all of my cpu. At first I thought it was the fact I was streaming to two platforms at the same time, but when I started only doing twitch, nothing changed. I even tried the method where you make it run on your GPU instead of CPU, and all it did was make it devour my GPU as well. Every time I search it up, I get answers to things I cant change because theyre already on that setting. Are there any ways to make this work better?

edit: here are my output settings bc im stupid and forgot to post that ish
streaming settings:
audio encoder - FFmpeg AAC
video encoder - x264 (no other options for some reason so thats not changeable)
rescale output - disabled (1920x1080)

encoder settings:
rate control - CBR
bitrate - 6000kbps
keyframe interval - 0s
cpu usage preset - veryfast

everything else is at the default for output settings
