I have since situated my limiters and have got them working properly now. Before upgrading to 2.7.2 (which was a task due to a bug) I installed an additional fail-over wan, which didn't have rules for the limiters. My rules were set per lan/vlan to use my gateway group and it's respective limiter. I had only made limiters for upload/download. My problem seemed to situate once I put my rules into the floating ruleset, made my limiters simple tail-drop with worst-case waieghted fair queueing, then made a queue for each limiter utilizing PIE with ecn checked. The rules used default gateway rather than gateway group (pfSense gateway is set to use the gateway group rather now) and the limiters were the actual queues I set up under the limiters. Hope it helps someone out there.
