QOS Sanity Check : Policy Rules-Individual BW Usage Type-Individual Limit Separately- Enable

Question

Hi just doing a sanity check for some QOS configuration. 
 I have a site that needs an unauthenticated /24 subnet to connect to certain fqdns and need to throttle individual clients in the subnet to a max of around 10 Mbits (1250 KBits) 
 Setting a QOS rule attached to a firewall rule does not seem to result in bandwidth being allotted per client as I can see from the client connection and performance it seems like the qos ceiling gets when a couple of clients upload data hitting this rule and latency shoots to over +200 ms for these destinations causing connections to time out to other clients. 
 Firewall is running 19.5

Hello djdrastic , Thank you for reaching out to the community, well let me explain you the conceptual difference between the two: Example for Individual concept : #4 users 1 firewall rule 1QOS 1mbps individual each wil get 256 #Same for 2 firewall rules 2 users each rule 1QOS 1mbps individual Each will get 512 #Now 4 rules for 4 users 1 user each firewall rule. each will get 1MBPS Example for Shared concept : #4 users 1 firewall rule 1QOS 1mbps Shared #Same for 2 firewall rules 2 users each rule total of 4 users 1QOS 1mbps shared Each will get 256 #Now 4 rules for 4 users 1 user each firewall rule. each will get 256 Individual - multiplying factor Shared - Within that QOS range ex : 1mbps
