Is it normal for the burst rate to slow down when you stop down the aperture?

Maybe try resetting your camera back to Factory Default (always a good starting point).

I haven't tried resetting. I was hoping that someone with similar canon cameras would test theirs out to see if the same thing happens lol.

Maybe someone else will chip in. I sold my M5 when I picked up the M6ii (no slowdowns at 3, 7, 14, or 30 FPS.).

The main reason I posted this question was to find out if the newer canon mirrorless cameras had this issue, so thank you for your input (although the M6 Mark II doesn't really interest me. Still hoping for an M5 Mark II). Have you tested out AF-Servo burst shooting with non native lenses? (EF, EF-S, third party) at all? Another user reported this issue, but only with non EF-M glass.

Hold the phones!

I just put my (adapted) 100L on the M6ii, and it did slow substantially when stopped down while in 15 FPS mode (but curiously enough not while in 7 FPS mode).

No slowdown at all when I have any EF-M lenses mounted (Canon or Sigma).  I haven't tested them All though.
