Is Voyager I’s reduced data transmission rate as described in [this article][1] because of the distance or because its transmitter getting slower? [closed]

As it gets further away the signal gets weaker, so it's deliberately slowed down. Data channel capacity depends on signal to noise ratio and bandwidth. If the signal is weaker the data rate can be slowed to reduce the necessary bandwidth.
