Why is my monitor erratically changing refresh rate in game?

Can anyone tell me if this is normal monitor behavior? The refresh rate is jumping all over the place. I’m troubleshooting trying to find an issue with this black band that occasionally comes across the screen. Or is this a product of Gsync and unrelated to my issue? https://giphy.com/gifs/Kd0JfYauGY91m7weSQ

Yes, that's what the purpose of adaptive sync (GSync/FreeSync) is, to actively match your refresh rate to your frame rate and prevent the screen tearing that occurs when you aren't able to constantly maintain a high enough frame rate to match your monitor's refresh rate (in this case, 144 fps).
