Redirects with Query String Laravel

Is it really necessary to write logic for handling query string on redirects(), or does Laravel have a built in method for handling the query strings in redirects?

From memory, in my last project I didn't need to worry about this, it just worked fine, so I am not sure whats going on...

This is what I am working with to make sure that when someone submits a message, the store method redirects to the correct page:

        $limit = self::PAGINATION_LIMIT;
        $count = Chat::query()->where('user_id', auth()->id())->count();
        if ($count > $limit) {
            return redirect()->route('chat.index', [
                'page' => $count / $limit
            ]);
        } else {
            return redirect()->route('chat.index');
        }

Turns out this is what you need to do, there is no magic solution in Laravel:

        $limit = self::PAGINATION_LIMIT;
        $count = Chat::query()->where('user_id', auth()->id())->count();
        if ($count > $limit) {
            return redirect()->route('chat.index', [
                'page' => ceil($count / $limit),
            ]);
        } else {
            return redirect()->route('chat.index');
        }
