HTTP2 DATA frame transmitted at later point for same stream

Hi!

We are observing this during a performance test and with data size in
order of 30kb - if data size is reduced to 10kb, this is not seen.

1)
DATA frame is transmitted over a long period for a stream -- As
wireshark displays it "Reassembled body in frame: xxxx". The first
part of DATA is transmitted at X and remaining at X+5th second.

As can be seen from capture, libcurl is sending:
HEADERS - 13:25:55
DATA (5kb) - 13:25:55
DATA (9kb) - 13:26:00
RST_STREAM - 13:26:00

At the server, since DATA is not complete at 13:25:55, it cannot
process until balance DATA is transmitted.

Any pointer as to why / in which conditions, libcurl can delay sending
the DATA packets ?

2)
libcurl sending more amount of DATA frames crossing WINDOW_UPDATE
specified by server ?

Additional Information:
1. It's a PATCH request and data is provided to libcurl using
readcallback which copies the entire buffer.
2. libcurl version 7.80.0 , nghttp2 version - 1.460

Thanks
