I suspect my issue might have been a windows update decided to download through my hotspot, but I haven't checked. It throttled in the end and the speed was tolerable (just) so I didn't even buy more data.
Incidentally, after that windows update, my system wouldn't shut-down anymore and I thought it was some virus or a bitcoin miner, but I found out that occasionally after windows update the fast load fails and you have to unticj the fast load option in the power options. Things must be pretty bad for the non tech savvy.
