I’ve noticed when enabled VRR on Hyprland, my max frame rate suddenly becomes capped to 70fps, no matter what I do, even if the monitor is set to 120fps mode. Disabling VRR fixes the issue immediately and allows rendering to continue at 120fps immediately. Initially I thought this was related to Hyprland, but there seem to be reports of this issue occurring on a variety of desktop managers and distributions, all on Linux.
