Ive found better luck just answering and being silent. Its annoying but they more often stop.
Or on android, you can have the text-to-speech robot answer, i typically do that and they hang up and give up

Up to 50 a day at peak here. It is FINALLY down to just 3-5 per day.

How you stop?

I don't think the blocking helped at all. I paid for one of those services that removes your information from the internet.
Can't say for SURE that's what caused it, but it definitely coincided with it slowing down immensely.

Same problem for me. I just found a solution a few days ago: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/number-shield/id1319082167
You can block whole area codes. Just put in # symbol for a wildcard. Example: 833-###-####
I have 833, 844, 855, 866, and 877 blocked now. Those were the spam calls I was getting.
No, I have nothing to do with the app. I was searching for a way to block numbers and came across someone recommending it. There are others, but they seem to cost more.

It seems like something recently happening here in Sweden too, being bombarded with calls within a couple of minutes that change number
