Traffic shaper is not working properly for me

Screenshots of Pipes, Queues and Rules please

Here you go.
I have no problem with my upload shaping by the way, but it is only 15Mbit/s pipe.
japtain.cack:
I know this is a bit old, but I've been trying for a year to get traffic shaping to work as well as it did in pfsense. I migrated to opnsense about a year ago and have been less than satisfied with traffic shaping, wireguard, and the latest changes to the traffic graph aren't as informative as they were in the past.
So, I've followed the opnsense guides and am very familiar with the links to the issues posted. Specifically
https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=7235.0
I've nuked all my settings and started from scratch numerous times thinking I did something wrong.
First, I followed the guide from opnsense. This resulted in an upload/download pipe set to my ISPs bandwidth specifications, upload/download queues, and an upload/download rule
This seemed to help, I did get slightly better speeds when something was using all the bandwidth. To test, I had my desktop download a steam game at full blast and did speed tests on my laptop. I was getting about 3Mbps down on the laptop, sometimes less, but the desktop was still downloading at 75Mbps or so, and was more/less unaffected by the shaping.
However, today, I finally got traffic shaping working for shared internet across all vlans to wan in/out.
Here's what I've come up with. But first, let me describe my layout:
ISP UP/DL:
UP: 40Mbps
DL: 80Mbps
VLANs:
20_LAN, 30_guest, 50_isolated, 100_iot
WANs:
only one, pppoe0
output of ipfw -a list, we only care about the queues so I've only included that output.

I'm only providing the WAN rules and VLAN_20 rule screenshots. The WAN rules are from the opnsense shared bandwidth guide, except I'm using direction rather than IP ranges.
The VLAN rules I created myself and you can duplicate these for any other VLANs you need to include. I'm only providing screenshots for VLAN_20_LAN
Basically what it came down to is creating the WAN up/dl rules AND the specific VLAN up/dl rules. I placed the VLAN rules above the generic WAN rules.
So, once I had the up/dl rules for the WAN AND the VLANs, I'm getting a nice split in traffic when my desktop is downloading and I'm doing a speedtest I get a perfect split; as long as nothing else was downloading of course.
Do you need both set of rules? I asked myself that very question. So I disabled the WAN rules and the problem came back, laptop getting poor up/dl speeds again when the network was saturated.
I turned the WAN rules back on and disabled the VLAN rules, same problem.
Once I turned them all back on, everything is working as expected. I cannot explain this behavior but it appears to be working as expected. I also rebooted between enabling disabling the WAN/VLAN rules when testing this theory, so something getting hung up shouldn't be the case.
TL;DR
Follow the opnsense guide for sharing internet for all users, except for the rules. Then, create WAN up/dl rules similar to mine AND individual up/dl rules per VLAN. Use my screenshots as reference.

Hi !
I do have VLANs but didn't wanted to do specific shaper on it....but still, I wasn't able to make the traffic shaper on my LAN (without V).
I apply same idea: I made eachs rules twice, with and without the LAN in interface2, seems to works much better now!
if some are interested, my post is here: https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=22776.msg108503#msg108503
I will add information about my tests with the idea from japtain.cack
