Question

Would blocked requests fall under the Consumer Data Standards for the requirement of a ‘429 Too many requests’ error response?

Or are there other methods of blocking deemed acceptable at said level or in that circumstance?

Answer

The guidance for this is explicitly stated in the standards under 'Exemptions To Protect Service' section under the Non Functional Requirements section.
