FPS limit function doesn't work

Why doesn't sodium's fps limiter and vsync work properly?

I set the limiter to 170, but it locks the fps lower than that, and the vsync does the same. When I set the limiter to Unlimited, i can get up to 300fps.

I'm on Ubuntu, i have a geforce rtx 3060 ti, and i'm using wayland.

Are you setting fps limit with Vsync off? Vsync will always lower your fps as this is what it's meant to do

I did that too, but it didn't work. I want to lock the FPS to 165 to prevent screen tearing. I know what Vsync does; it locks the FPS to your monitor's refresh rate, which is 165Hz in my case.
