Am I missing something?

If you didn't configure QoS targets, the controller is using device
qdepth saturation as the sole guidance in determining whether the
device needs throttling.  Please try configuring the target latencies.
The bandwidth you see for single stream of rand ios should have direct
correlation with how the latency targets are configured.  The head
letter for the patchset has some examples.

Thanks.
