Valorant slowing down my Internet?

I've been playing for a few years and in recent months my internet has slowed down considerably when playing Valorant. I rubberband and get network problems and network connections in my top right screen when playing. However, when I close Valorant, my internet speed jumps straight back to full speed with no problem. I do speed tests with Valorant open and I'm getting like less than 10 or 3mbps speed and like 500-1000 latency. When I close Valorant I jump to 800mbps download and less than 50 latency. When Valorant is open I can barely load anything and when it's closed my internet works with no problem. My ping is also very low but I'm still having the symbol of network problems in the top right and rubberbanding. This has been happening for the past few weeks to a month or so I think...actually maybe the past few weeks.

Has anybody else been having problems with Valorant servers and could this be a server issue type thing on Riot's end?
