Laravel 8 — Passport API Routing Rate Limiting

In Laravel 8, the rate limiting has been improved.

For the api middleware, the rate limiting settings is now moved to the app/Providers/RouteServiceProvider.php file.

/**
 * Configure the rate limiters for the application.
 *
 * @return void
 */
protected function configureRateLimiting()
{
    RateLimiter::for('api', function (Request $request) {
        return Limit::perMinute(60)->by(optional($request->user())->id ?: $request->ip());
    });
}
