I have a strapi app in which there is a collection called Page and I want to limit the number of requests to /pages . I know there is a rateLimit middleware but how do i use it and change its default limit interval and max values.

You already know there is a middleware implemented, as to how to use it. You would add this middleware to the routes. As an example:

// path: ./src/api/restaurant/routes/restaurant.js

const { createCoreRouter } = require('@strapi/strapi').factories;

module.exports = createCoreRouter('api::restaurant.restaurant', {
  config: {
    find: {
      middlewares: [
        // point to a registered middleware
        'plugin::users-permissions.rateLimit ', 
      ]
    }
  }
});
