fwiw I think the biggest single trick there is to group IPV6 addresses at the /48 or /64 level before applying rate limits (you can rate limit IPV4s on a per-ip basis).

It's kind of annoying and expensive to get a bunch of IPv4s to evade limits, but it's really easy to get a TON of IPv6s.

The other Big Trick I know is to persist rate limits after a client disconnects so that they can't disconnect -> reconnect to refresh their limits.
