Brilliant, works like a charm, thanks! I use Code Snippets to actually put it on my website. Chat GPT recommended in addition to add is_admin so it only runs on the dashboard?

if ( is_admin() ) {
    add_filter('pre_http_request', function ($pre, $args, $url) {
        // If the request is going to layered.market, block it
        if (strpos($url, 'layered.market') !== false) {
            return new WP_Error(
                'layered_market_blocked',
                'Blocked slow request to layered.market'
            );
        }

        // For all other URLs, do nothing
        return $pre;
    }, 10, 3);
}
