Discord traffic triggering Gaming Service on Traffic Prioritization

Hi guys,

 

as title suggests, Discord triggers my Game Service rule for my gaming PC, so the entire network gets throttled to my Congestion Control slides (I'm actually on a 100/20MB connection, so when it gets throttled it's very difficult to download something fast), because I have "auto-enable" on the Congestion Control. I have figured it out just now, because it was showing on Geofiltering as a peer, I've searched its IP and discovered it was a Discord server.

 

Is there a way to make this service not to trigger whenever Discord is on? Because I'm using both PC and Discord for working purposes too, and being limited to slow download speeds are worst while working, and enabling/disabling the rule manually is practically a nightmare to do every download.

 

I'm on a XR1000, latest firmware.

 

Thanks!

      I have disabled DumaOS Classified Games and Work At Home. I have created two Games Console rules, one for my Steam Deck and one for my PC, both set up as Games Console in Device Manager. I have no other rules.

        Remove the Games Console rule for the PC and make an Advanced rule with the following information:
        Source 1-65535
        Destination 1024 - 49999
        Protocol TCP/UDP
        then see if it continues to prioritize games when needed and excludes Discord
