I would use validation to check the limit is valid
Rule::in([10,25,50,100]);

Passing a parameter to control the number of items returned by pagination?
I'm looking for a way to pass a value to my paginate method, so I can control the number of results for my GET request:
->cursorPaginate($items)
I know I can get the value from the query string, and even set a default if not present. But I am wondering how do you go about setting a min and max setting, e.g. so a user cannot access 10,000 records at once?
I'm aware of this package but it does not work with cursorPaginate.
I'm also aware you could just do a quick test on the value of the query string, but I need this throughout my application.
Any ideas?

@Snapey thanks, anyway to attach this through every paginate request rather than in every controller or request?

You could maybe attach it to your model as a fake scope
in paginated model;
public function scopeValidLimit($query)
{
abort_unless(in_array(request()->get(perPage,10),[10,25,50,100]),500);
}
then use it like
$data = Model::validLimit()->paginate(request()->get(perPage,10));
If the user tampers with the view or the query string, they get a 500 error.
You could put this in a trait and include it in all paginated models.
but its blurring the lines a little.
