So given that minimum size of HTTP request is something under 32 bytes, some sources say 18 bytes but let's be generous here HTTP can be complex. In theory I could send 4M requests in second with 1 Gbps connection. 1 Tbps total connection capacity could do close to 4.3B rps given perfect distribution. I imagine distributing the load becomes harder/more expensive the bigger the scale. In real network you probably have to find the paths that don't slow you down and then strike for short time before you are banned. Cloudflare has made post about mitigating 2 Tbps DDOS in 2021, so in real attacks request sizes aren't quite that optimal.
