[2.8.1.b] Multiple limiter issue
-
The issue reported below is still present in 2.8.1.b.20250717.1752
-
@NWOSwamp I noticed the same incorrect behaviour in the first 25.07-rc (July09), I have yet to test the latest (July15-rc)

@pst I have tested the June15 25.07-RC and the same problems exist there. Certain limiter combinations just doesn't work in the 2025 releases of pfSense. @stephenw10 , is Netgate aware and actively working on resolving the current limiter issues, or do I need to raise yet another redmine?
Here's todays results from 25.07.r.20250715.1733:
test #1 LAN Limiters
Setup:
- Limiters configured on LAN 100Mb/s DL 50Mb/s UL
- policy routing IPv4 only (IPv6 LAN rules disabled)
Preparation:
- reset firewall state table
Results:
- speedtest.net DL 96Mb/s UL 47Mb/s
Conclusions:
- LAN speeds matches the configured LAN limiters (Success)
test #2 LAN+WAN Limiters, policy routing
Setup:
- Limiters configured on LAN 100Mb/s DL 50Mb/s UL
- policy routing IPv4 only (IPv6 LAN rules disabled)
- Limiter configured on WAN 200Mb/s DL 150Mb/s UL
- buffer-bloat floating rule on WAN (Netgate recepie)
Preparation:
- reset firewall state table
Results:
- speedtest.net DL 196Mb/s UL 145Mb/s
Conclusions:
- LAN speeds matches the configured WAN limiters (Failure)
test #3 LAN+WAN Limiters, default routing
Setup:
- Limiters configured on LAN 100Mb/s DL 50Mb/s UL
- default routing IPv4 only, IPv6 LAN rules disabled
- Limiter configured on WAN 200Mb/s DL 150Mb/s UL
- buffer-bloat floating rule on WAN (Netgate recepie)
Preparation:
- reset firewall state table
Results:
- speedtest.net DL 193Mb/s UL 48Mb/s
Conclusions:
- DL LAN speed matches the configured WAN DL limiter (Failure)
- UL LAN speed matches the configured LAN UL limiter (Success)

Yup we are aware of it.
Can we see the rules you are using to apply those Limiters?
Do you see states opened matching those rules?
