How do I Stop a AI / Bad Bot from Slurping my Website?!?!?

Over the past month someone using Tencent Cloud Computing' server(s) has been systematically crawling my website.
The attached image is just the very tip of the problem, I could show hundreds of entries from the same host.

I've tried editing my robots.txt and htaccess files to slow down and/or deny the various ISPs but the slurping continues.

• Does x10 monitor for bad bots / crawlers based on frequency, and take steps to mitigate against it?

• x10 already uses CAPTCHA to verify that anyone logging into their servers is an actual human. Is it possible for a client to install such a system to protect their website(s)?

• All client-side solutions I've read to deny / delay malicious bots appear woefully inadequate. All suggest the best solution requires both a backend and frontend component.

Any help would be appreciated.
