Single /64 IPv6 range with multiple vlans?

My ISP only provides a /64 address and I've got it working just fine on my main network. Does anyone know of a way to make IPv6 available to my other vlans too?
I have reached out to my ISP (Robbers in Canada) and they say they won't give anything larger than /64 so the obvious (and easy) method isn't an option.

No, unfortunately doing so would not comply with the IPv6 spec requiring all networks to be at least /64 (and OPNsense does not allow you to violate that).
Something that worked for me (Comcast) is using a prefix hint. On your WAN interface, check the Send IPv6 prefix hint option and then try setting 62 as your delegation size (4 usable prefixes). Apply the changes and wait. I ended up rebooting my firewall and got no IPv6 at all, I figured it wasn't working, but it was late, so I went to bed planning to set it back in the morning. I woke up to find the requested /62 allocation! Guessing Comcast's DHCPv6 lease had to timeout before it would grant a different one.
PS: I would give the prefix hint a try despite what you were told by Robbers. Comcast officially says the same thing, only one /64 for residential customers, but it worked for me and others too. Plus, I kind of doubt the person you talked to even understood what an IPv6 allocation was, he probably just said no to get you off the phone

Thank you for the reply. I figured as much but thought I'd ask incase there was a way I wasn't aware of. I've tried all the different prefix sizes from 64 to 56 and the only one that works is 64. (Here is one of the threads where I was trying different things:

)
I'll just now have to hope that my ISP eventually implements IPv6 better in the future.
Thank you.
