    @break1146 - thanks for your response. I actually came to this thread after noticing that the limiters did not work correctly when applied to LAN rules when a gateway group is used as the default gateway on the rules. Essentially what I was seeing in that case, was that the upload was correctly limited, but the download was limited to only 50% of what the limiter had been set to. I tried out the approach you suggested (floating rules on WAN with tagged LAN traffic) and everything works as expected. Perhaps this is a bug that I should report? Or would you have any ideas as to why I'm only seeing download limited to 50% of limiter value when applied to LAN rules directly? Thanks again.

      @tman222 I haven't made any new setups with limiters, but I remember trying it and seeing it work. The problem was already fixed at the time of writing earlier in CE if my memory is correct.
      My test was quickly in between since it hasn't been a pressing issue for me anymore, so maybe I haven't tested it as well as I should have.
      I'll see if I have a moment in the coming days to test it more thoroughly and I'll report back here.
      For if it's relevant, I'll be testing with a 2100 and a 6100 (different architectures).

          Just to close the loop on this, it looks like the issue I was experiencing where the download was limited to only 50% of what the limiter had been set to has been resolved in 24.03:
