I'd bet that 'one client' getting the ~200gbps DDoS has a massive monthly bill (likely hundreds/thousands of servers) so they're happy to mitigate short term DDoS.
Most dedicated server providers won't go that far if you have a handful of servers.

Also everyone here talk about L7, cloudflare ect.. but a lot of application are pure TCP/UDP based so you can't cache anything.
