Just run some check using Maxis Business Postpaid sim card in modem for comparison 8pm-12am
Can go beyond 8Mbps but my area is congested, hence download is slower than upload. But during non-peak hours, I have seen my download peak at 70-80Mbps but normally constant around 30-40Mbps.
Urban area, high density/people. Tower distance roughly 300 metres.
So I guess the Hotlink Prepaid throttle does not apply ?

So, the super-richer Maxis Business Postpaid subscribers are not throttled or are throttled less severely(= 8Mbps.?) daily during MCO 8pm to 12am while all other poorer Maxis non-Business prepaid and postpaid subscribers are throttled more severely.
Seems the poorest Maxis prepaid subscribers are throttled to 500kbps/0.5Mbps while the poorer Maxis non-Business postpaid subscribers are throttled to 2Mbps.
This is bad customer service. Imagine paying Maxis RM138 per month for 2Mbps from 8pm to 12am daily.

I did another test again, cause previously in 2020 during MCO even this Business line is also throttled to 3Mbps YouTube between 8pm-12am. From the monitoring graph, I can really see it flat out at 3Mbps at exactly 8:00:00pm onwards if I'm streaming YouTube.
Today I did a test again since curious. Looks like they remove the cap for YouTube. I can get 25Mbps+

I do another test to compare with last night 11pm+. This time at 8pm+ congestion is not that bad. I can get peak of 50Mbps download (green line) and 30Mbps upload (red line). Also speed average 20-25Mbps download and 20Mbps upload
Just to share here

Again, the 1GB daily free quota is finished (0MB left)
Sorry I don't get why you say RM138/month for 2Mbps between 8pm-12am ? My business line is downgraded from RM128 (60GB) to RM98 (40GB) now.
I have my personal Maxis MOP98 which I can test also over the weekend but need to swap SIM card around phone and modem. I also have a hotlink prepaid as backup but never use for data.
