I'd expect somewhat typical time of day use patterns on Starlink as a whole [1], but you're probably seeing variable congestion/capacity because the satellites are in motion and you'll have varience in which satellites are in view and how many other users are using the same satellite as you, as well as how many users are connected through the same ground station as you. I'd bet there are some really interesting network graphs.

This has been my experience too which I've assumed they are capping speeds. Often I work late so am up in the am's so would have little competition for bandwidth and if I do a speed test it's lower (~60Mb down) than when I first got it and would regularly be 100Mb+ sometimes over 200.
Also recently we've been getting more network dropouts.
All that said, it's been a game changer for me as I was living with 3.5Mb down before starlink and a significant overall improvement.
