Because it ran out of bandwidth.

It doesn't have a bug, therefore I won't fix it.

The throttle limits the RT tasks to a bandwidth w of u/p.
Since real-time scheduling is about determinism a maximum bandwidth
larger than the minimum bandwidth specified by w is useless since it
cannot be relied upon.

Therefore we don't run RT tasks beyond their bandwidth limit.

Go read up on scheduling theory.

Now you might want a bandwidth of 100% for your RT application (not
something I can recommend for the overall health of your machine) in
which case you're free to change this setting:

echo -1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rt_runtime_us

Should do that for you. Also read:
