Hi there, may I please refer you to this guide I have followed in the official documentation:
https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/shaper_limit_per_user.html
I created the Pipes as per the instructions, as well as the Rules, as attached in the screenshots.
Documentation says

Note
If you want to limit traffic for a specific IP addresses then just enter the IP addresses in the destination field instead of the full LAN network range.
Which is precisely what I am looking to do, so I entered in the devices IP address as shown 192.168.1.11
Pressed apply on everything, thought I followed the instructions, yet 192.168.1.11 is still downloading at full speed
What went wrong?
Is the guide out of date?
Thanks kindly for any guidance
I think this is a widely held misconception - traffic shaping only kicks in when there is contention.
If you are nowhere near capacity, it will not do anything. What you are looking for is traffic policing
