Sadly, HTML is limited in this respect ... the whole page has a single heading hierarchy, and it's not really possible to create separate zones/isolated blocks with their own internal hierarchy. The whole concept of heading outline algorithm was intended to partially address this, but sadly it's only a fiction and not really reality https://www.accessibility-developer-guide.com/examples/headings/html-5-outline/ My general advice would be to just choose a particular heading level that's reasonably high up (like <h2>), and then stick to it. Nobody dies if a particular heading level is "missed" that's not a hard failure of WCAG - see discussion here https://github.com/w3c/wcag/issues/655#issuecomment-474394616 P -- Patrick H.
