How to remove API throttling?

check your app/Http/Kernel.php, there you can either disable the throttling middleware at all or set a less restrictive rate_limit. have a look at this part in the file:

        'api' => [
            'throttle:60,1',
            'bindings',
        ],

the 60,1 means 60 requests per 1 minute

@s4muel Thank for the help but I have another question. When I said that it's only local service I do mean that only that one specific API because it's under Auth that only local user can do unlimited access. How do I only remove rate_limit from that specific route only?

there are two options i can think of:

• disable the throttle middleware at all + enable it for each of your api routes separately (except the one under Auth) - not nice, but if you have couple of routes, it should be ok (have a look at route groups as well: https://laravel.com/docs/5.7/routing#route-groups )
• create a new middleware that extends the ThrottleRequests middleware and change it to exclude the url you need - here is similar example: https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/general-discussion/l5-disable-csrf-middleware-on-certain-routes
