Traffic Shaper

I have traffic shaper policy . even if i reduce the download speed speedtest shows the maximum bandwidth

for example if I change to 10 Mbps ,it shows 100 Mbps

Thanks

Are you using reverse shaper in your shaping policy?  Download traffic is reverse (i.e. connection initiated by PC, so a normal shaper will only apply to upload speed)

Also be aware of which method (shaping policy vs policy-based shaping) will take precedence as per this: https://kb.fortinet.com/kb/documentLink.do?externalID=FD46556

The SD-WAN course that Fortinet currently offers for free explains shaping pretty well in module 4:
