If you are on VPN they cannot know shit. Only that you use a VPN... So either they are detecting the VPN and lying about what they know or you fucked up setting the VPN and the torrentina doesn't go through the VPN.

They’ll still see upload/download volumes, speeds and patterns. Just not destinations. That alone could indicate torrent.
That could indicate a lot of things. It would be very difficult to distinguish a torrent from something like cloud folder sync. And that would still be a statistical guess. No ISP is going to go after customers because their VPN traffic is potentially torrent traffic.
Besides, even if they could detect that torrenting is taking place, they will not know what data is being transferred from and to where. It's a meme, but torrents are actually sometimes used for non-copyright infringing data.
I was providing Linux distros and Machine Learning datasets some time ago, because official servers where slow. I'm the meme I guess
If you're on qbit, did you bind your vpn to qbit?
Also your vpn might just be bad, what do you use?
I did not but it was a system wide VPN.
Start the VPN and connect to a location. Open qBittorrent. Go to Preferences, and then Advanced tab. Change Network interface to the VPN (usually its name, like "Mullvad"). Restart qBittorrent.
Basically when you bind it, if your vpn ever happens to turn off etc its gonna stop the download/upload
