Also, after about 30 minutes the game will be back to normal.

Maybe not the same root cause since in your case it seems to be time dependant, but have you checked that support article ?: [Possible Solution] Low Bandwidth Messages

Happened to me today. I’ve been off for a week so this is my first time noticing

If it’s the same time always:
Could be your service provider reseting, something on your system updating or checking for updates, something on your network/wifi updating or looking.

It’s not that, I never used any map mods so I don’t have any entries in that folder.

I don’t think It is any of those since I can use the internet for other things during that time. I also never had this problem with MSFS2020.

Some more info:

I can see in the fps debug thing the bandwidth will sit at ~2Mbps the whole time this is happening. If I try to load an aircraft livery during this time it will stay at that for a long time before having a large spike and loading after several minutes. Usually it will stay at 0 Mbps when in the menu and not changing aircraft/livery/moving the map.

This now starts at 8:00 PM EST and seems to last even longer for me.
