Increase X-RateLimit-Limit in laravel using throttle middleware

Question

I can find ways to decrease the value but in my case I am running many asynchronous API calls and need to increase the X-RateLimit-Limit to something more than 100 to work.

Kindly suggest alternatives.

following is the response which I am getting

P.S - I am using auth middleware also

Too Many Attempts.

the `throttle` middleware accepts parameters to increase or decreate the rate limit. — online Thomas, Mar 10 '17 at 11:59
Setting the throttle middleware greater than 60 is ignored. It is only working to throttle less than 60. Even when I change the default `$maxAttempts = 60`, it has no effect except for less than 60. — STWilson, Apr 05 '17 at 14:50

yes , ,tried but when I am increasing it over 60, nothing happen the limit stays at 60 – Vishal Pandey Mar 10 '17 at 13:03
Try to dump your parameter directly in the Throttle class (http://prntscr.com/eir6u6). Is it set correctly? – Jakub Kratina Mar 11 '17 at 19:42
Try to clear your cookies. Or dig into the Throttle class and try to find a problem there. – Jakub Kratina Mar 14 '17 at 12:47

Your attempt to do set the API thottle greater than 60 like the following will be usurped by the setting in app/Http/Kernel.php:

// routes/api.php
Route::get('myapi/{value}/{anothervalue}', 'MyApiController@getStuff')->middleware('throttle:100,1');

For the above to work, increase the limit in app/Http/Kernel.php according to your specific requirements:

    'api' => [
        'throttle:500,1',
        'bindings',
    ],
