qBittorrent caps my speed by 80% after a minute

There is a weird cap happening only on my Win10 laptop with gigabit Ethernet connection.
After a couple of minutes with full speed download ~100mbit, qBittorrent caps the speed to ~20mbit (2.4MiB/s).
If I restart qBittorrent speed goes 100% for a minute before being capped to 20% again.
Tested the same torrent with Transmission and that does not happen. Checked with speedtest too which shows the normal 100mbit so this happens only in qBittorrent?
I have played around in settings, limits etc but nothing.
I'm attaching a screenshot of that. It's like a magic hidden limit gets applied after a minute of downloading.
Any ideas?
