Scariest flight in my life

Guys, today I pulled my new Droneer X501 out of the box and prepped it for flight.
It’s a beast, pretty smooth, jello if your batts not balanced right, I use ELRS at a 250 packet rate at 1Watt.
I am a licensed pilot in “G” airspace, and flying over some homes, cars, and structures.
The first three flights, great range, minimal
Latency, but on the fourth flight, I widened a bit and my DJI O4 pro did hit as low as 41 Mbps. Then back to 60, THEN MY SCREEN FROZE COMPLETELY, IM
TALKING LIKE A PHOTOGRAPH OF MY LAST IMAGE. No yellow bar or red bar, the frozen pic had 60 Mbps
I didn’t know what to do, I’m hearing kids in the background my heart is literally thumping.
What seemed like an eternity, probably three or four seconds, all Of a sudden the picture Pixilated back and I was a hundred fifty feet in the air higher (when it went out I was freaking but I just held sticks pretty steady with a little bit of throttle.
I have about fifteen drones with the DJI O4 pro, this has NEVER happened before and truthfully, I never want it to happen again.

Has anybody else ever gone through this ‘frozen’ latency? When I pulled this out of the box I upgraded to 7 from 6 on the VTX.

Very spooky guys and girls
Any help here, would really be appreciated.

Thank you
