In article .com,
says...
So I guess I need a new kettle then?

I had only used vinegar (hardly very acidic compared with limescale
removal acidic sachets?) a year ago to remove limescale.

Other than buying a different kettle, what tips are there to remove
limescale in the future if acid could cause the metal plating to
corrode?

You can get a thing which looks like a scouring pad to put in the kettle
which works pretty well. Every so often you take the pad out and bash it
around a bit to remove the scale which has adhered to the pad instead of
the kettle. Then you put the pad back
