Steam is giving me high ping

[Ben n' Jerrys]

when steam is running on my pc my ping is consistently at least 200 spiking to up to 800 when in game in CSGO. When i exit steam my ping goes back down to 30. I have done countless ping tests and steam is 100% the problem. Yesterday i saw something online that said that if you change the priority of steam.exe in task manager your ping will go down, and that worked yesterday. However today even when i change the priority of steam.exe the ping still stays high and i have no idea what to do next. If anyone can help or has any suggestions that would be greatly appreciated.

I'm getting at least 200 ping on ALL steam games I'm able to browse community servers on.. this is nuts... i have no idea how literally every dedicated server on every steam game could be affected, but NOTHING else i do is affected. my ping measures completely normal on every other test i run, but ANYTHING Steam-related i get 200+ ping on virtually everything.

Example: on the master server list for Rust (which includes official, community AND modded servers) ONLY 3 servers were below 100 ping for me.

the thing is: for some reason, there's a steam process that downloads something on the background. even if you disable background downloads, it'll happen anyway. maybe there's not a large quantity of people talking about it because they have better internet and that background process doesn't affect them at all.

i found a solution, but it's not ideal. if you set the limit of download to 16 kB/s on the settings, the steam process won't take so many bandwidth (since it's now limited). your ping will be a little greater than in non-steam online games, but surely better than playing with 200+ ms. for example: i used to play with 80 ms most of the time (when there wasn't that problem), but now, limiting the download, i play with 80~120 ms. playable, at least.

ps: that limit of download will reduce your future download of games/updates. if you need to do so, just disable temporarily. when you need to play online, put the limit again.

to be honest with you, after increasing my internet bandwidth, this isn't a problem for me anymore. i haven't heard about any solution. actually, i didn't even remember about this problem

Have you tried to go Steam client settings > In game > ping limit in game / minute and set it from 5k to 250?

And also in settings > Library > Low consume settings turn on?

Thats the number of pings for server list.
Not max delay.
