Laravel 7: Task schedule command if column has date and matched with current date-CodePudding

I want to create task schedule command. My critieria is: I have a customer table where customers have due_date column. So if this column is not null and has date, the date will match current date and send sms to customer mobile number.

scheduleSms Command File:

protected $signature = 'send:scheduleSms';
 public function handle()
    {
        $customer = Customer::where('due_date', '!=', null)->orderBy('id', 'asc')->get();
        $today = Carbon::now()->format('d-m-Y');

        foreach($customer as $row){
            if($row->due_date == $today){
            $id = 1;
            $sms_settings = SmsSetting::findOrFail($id);
            if($sms_settings->schedule_active == 1){
                $name = $row->name;
                $date = $row->due_date;
                $total_due = number_format($row->due);
                $msgs =  $sms_settings->schedule_sms;
                $find = ['#name#','#date#', '#total_due#',];
                $replacement = [$name, $date, $total_due  ];
                $msg = str_replace( $find, $replacement, $msgs);
                $send= SMS::shoot($row->mobile, $msg);
            }

            }
        }
    }

Kernel.php

protected $commands = [
        'App\Console\Commands\scheduleSms'
    ];
protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule)
    {
        $schedule->command('send:scheduleSms')
        ->everyMinute()
        ->runInBackground()
        ->timezone('Asia/Dhaka');
    }

Suppose Today I scheduled a customer due_date to 2022-08-20, then $send= SMS::shoot($customer->mobile, $msg); this will execute only once for each customer at 2022-08-20. Also If I have many customers due date, it sends all sms at once which may crush for huge amounts.

Can you please modify the code, so that it takes 2/3second time gap between each sms and send only one sms each customer.

I hope it's useful
Make a command first

php artisan make:command SendSMS

You define code in handle() function and
$signature = 'sms:send'; (This is example , you can change if you want to be)

In Kernel.php
$schedule->command('sms:send')->daily()->runInBackground();
