Is there any way to get the notification about reaching the rate limits?

[siarheipashkevich]

Hi, all!

Do you know how to get notification if the any rate limits is reached?
https://laravel.com/docs/11.x/routing#rate-limiting

Thanks

RateLimiter::for('global', function (Request $request) {
    return Limit::perMinute(1000)->response(function (Request $request, array $headers) {
        // do your magic here.
        return response('Custom response...', 429, $headers);
    });
});

Limit::perMinute(1000)->response( ... should be Too Many Attempts.

I described the reason why I can't do it

As I see it, if you use the callback to transform the response, then it will return HttpResponseException. If not it will return ThrottleResponseException. You are concerned that the first case will contain other message. The rate limiting should be executed first before the controller so what exception can there be? And if there is one, it will not be triggered by your rate limit callback. It will have its own callback or none.

Thanks for your response, I understood how to implement it using global exception handler (but there is no information about name of the rate limit. ThrottleRequestsException does not contain for which rate limit it was thrown).

I'm talking about something like:

https://laravel.com/docs/11.x/database#monitoring-cumulative-query-time

or Model::handleLazyLoadingViolationUsing(...)

But only for reaching Rate Limits.
