My current opinion is that the problem lies with Cloudstack itself, not Ceph. I opened this thread here to rule out the rather unlikely possibility that the issue is related to Ceph storage.

Thanks for the links. The Cloudstack thread is actually mine, which I opened there in parallel. I will continue the discussion there..

Indeed, Ceph FS and RBD serves Cloudstack which in turn uses Ceph FS via
NFS for "Secondary Storage". Cloudstack provides a download URL where I
can download a raw file via browser or wget. What is odd to me is that
the download rate shrinks rapidly around 100GB and it maintains for a
few minutes around 140 kbit/s before the connection is completely lost.
It is also visible in Ceph when the FS pool read ops per seconds drops
to zero.

After I tried other approaches in Cloudstack, I see that other types of
large downloads do not show this behaviour, so I do not think that Ceph
is doing any throttling..
Interesting to note that the number 100GB comes up in cloudstack docs:

https://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/en/latest/adminguide/templates.html#best-practices-for-templates

This bug report seem to say others have size-related problems aswell,
and log lines you could look for:

https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/issues/2820

Looks close to your issue too:
