This will have many false positives. Especially if the address is from a mobile network.

Last I read this is how Instagram rate limits IPV6. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32687694

So apparently not enough false positives for them to care.

Is it common for mobile networks to hand out short (64 or smaller) prefixes to phones? Phones are routers after all (hotspot) so this would seem to break stuff.

Multiple phones will use addresses with same prefix. This makes it hard to apply targetted limits to an IP. This is why mobile IPv6 proxies are valuable.

people don't care about false positives on CGNAT either, so not much difference to the IPv4 situation if you target /64s
