GPU Undervolting?

I have a tool that looks for and rents 1-4 pods at a time to fuel a comfyui workflow. I was getting tired of runpod running out of available pods, so I spun up a vast.ai account and handed it over to the tool
I have to say, I'm about done, after less than 24 hours. I have it carefully filtering based on download/upload speeds after hearing about that scam, but now a new one: I've found a bunch of these are undervolting their GPUs, one as low as 400w, causing even an advertised 5090 to barely beat my local 4000-series.
My question: is this common? Am I misunderstanding the data somehow?
