MVPInteresting! Haven't done this.
Maybe try layered virtual server to do this as seen in the article below as F5 by default uses internal VS for the VPN:

The other option you can try is to see the per request policy that is generated for API rate limit as limiting the client requests.
Edit:
For per-request policy you will need a VS that captures the traffic after the VPN VS and decrypts and has http profile, so this will work only for web traffic but 80% of the traffic probably is web in the VPN, so wildcard SSL cert will do the job. Also maybe enable split tunnel as not all traffic to go to the F5 device.
