Summary
Adds opt-in sliding window rate limiting to Laravel's rate limiter.
Fixed window limiting is susceptible to burst attacks at window boundaries.
A client can exhaust the limit at the end of one window and again at the start of the next, effectively doubling throughput in a short period.
Sliding window smooths this by weighting the previous window's count into the current calculation.
Formula
where
overlapRatio = 1 - (elapsed / windowSize)Usage
Works with all existing Limit features:
after()callbacks,response()callbacks,by()keys, and mixed limit arrays (fixed + sliding in the same limiter).
