I've found the default 10min bans hardly bother some attackers.
So I've added the "recidive" feature of fail2ban.  After the
second 10min ban, the attacker is blocked for 1 week.

Interesting, didn't know about that feature, but, oh, I just generally ban for a whole week regardless, yes, I realise that a typo might  set it off for a actual user, but I have other methods of entry to unban if that happens, and we have a number of whitelisted IPs that cover most things like that for most use cases, and a VPN within the whitelist that can be used if the public services get locked out.
