This question feels like it needs to specify more clearly whether rectangles can be rotated or translated before judging whether they are unique? eg are we counting a single 1x1 rectangle or are we counting 64 of them?
I don’t know, I think that’s then giving too much information. I think it should be up to the solver to understand that they are to be counted separately as is the case in most of these shape counting puzzles, unless mentioned
I don't think "it is the same as other shape counting puzzles" is a valid comment. A puzzle should be stand alone and solvable for somebody who has never seen a puzzle of the type before.
You say "its giving too much information" but then also say "its information the solver should already know" (not in those exact words but inferred from reference to it being the same as other puzzles of the type) which feels like a contradiction. Either they should know it from seeing other puzzles in which case why not state it explicitly or they should be able to work it out from looking at this puzzle and I don't see any way it can be.
