I found it in Kernel.php:
'api' => [
'throttle:60,1',
'bindings',
],
This was overriding any setting set above.

Laravel Api Rate Limiting Throttle, Increase Limit Greater Than 60
Setting the api throttle middleware less than 60 works like this:
Route::get('myapi/{value}/{anothervalue}', 'MyApiController@getStuff')->middleware('throttle:5,1');
However, any setting greater than 60 is ignored:
Route::get('myapi/{value}/{anothervalue}', 'MyApiController@getStuff')->middleware('throttle:100,1');
I tried playing with the default $maxAttempts = 60 in the ThrottleRequests class, and that doesn't work. Could there be another overriding throttle besides this Middleware that limits requests to 60 per minute per IP?

@stwilson thanks!
Not sure why this is completely absent from the documentation at https://laravel.com/docs/5.8/routing#rate-limiting
Level 1
I"m trying to implement this with Laravel 8 and it doesn't seem to be working. I changed the throttle to use the RateLimiter as suggested in the documentation. I've cleared cached in laravel, nothing seems to be taking any affect.... The requests always stop at 60
Kernel.php
protected $middlewareGroups = [
'web' => [
EncryptCookies::class,
AddQueuedCookiesToResponse::class,
StartSession::class,
// \Illuminate\Session\Middleware\AuthenticateSession::class,
ShareErrorsFromSession::class,
VerifyCsrfToken::class,
SubstituteBindings::class,
],
'api' => [
EnsureFrontendRequestsAreStateful::class,
'throttle:10,1',
SubstituteBindings::class,
],
];
RouteServiceProvider.php
public function boot()
{
$this->configureRateLimiting();
parent::boot();
}
protected function configureRateLimiting()
{
RateLimiter::for('oauth_tvs', function (Request $request) {
return Limit::perMinute(10)->by(optional($request->user())->id ?: $request->ip());
});
}
api.php
Route::get('/throttle/{amount}', 'SomeController@throttleBatch')->middleware(['throttle:oauth_tvs']);
SomeController.php
public function throttleBatch(Request $request, $amount) {
// Going to throttle up to $amount of requests
try {
$httpClient = new Client();
for ($i = 0; $i <= $amount; $i++) {
$req = $httpClient->post("someAPI", []);
$response = $req->getBody()->getContents();
Log::info("Success!");
}
} catch (\Throwable $e) {
Log::info("errorCode: {$e->getCode()}");
}
}
