Why Is the BANDWIDTH Value in a Level-1 M3U8 File for Pulling a Transcoded Stream Not the Bitrate of the Transcoded Stream?

The possible cause is that the actual bitrate and encoding format of the transcoded stream have not been obtained when the M3U8 file is returned. In this case, Live returns the default value.
