title: Laravel 5.5 ThrottleRequest middleware
body: <p>Does anyone have info on how to implement the <code>ThrottleRequest</code> middleware in Laravel 5.5? </p>
  
  <p>I'm not clear on the meaning of the <code>decayMinutes</code> parameter in particular: <a href="https://laravel.com/api/5.5/Illuminate/Routing/Middleware/ThrottleRequests.html" rel="noreferrer">https://laravel.com/api/5.5/Illuminate/Routing/Middleware/ThrottleRequests.html</a></p>
  
  <p>I understand how to apply it to a route, I just am not sure what reaosnable parameters would be.</p>
