I'm afraid this descripion lacks details to allow us to draw many conclusions.
You also didn't mention if you use h2 over TLS or not and you didn't state
which nghttp2 version you're using.

If that's true then it sounds like a bug to me. We've fixed several h2 related
bugs since 7.74.0 so I'd recommand you start out by trying the latest curl
version and see if anything gets better.
