So the reason is likely that your node has failed more than 10% of transfers.  
As @Stob suggested, you need to search for transfer errors and errors like “file not found” (search for “graceful”/“piecetransfer” and “ERROR”/“failed”).  
To calculate a number of failed transfers you need to filter logs by “piecetransfer” and group them by PieceID and “ERROR”/“transferred”. Please note - the node will attempt to transfer each piece at least 5 times before it will be considered as a failed transfer, so you need to calculate only failed transfers which have 5 attempts for the same PieceID.  
You may also give me a NodeID and I can provide you with exact numbers, however I cannot provide a reason - it’s stated only in your logs.
