Strapi v4

const { errors } = require(‘@strapi/utils’);
const { ForbiddenError } = errors;
module.exports = {
async beforeCreate(event) {
const { data } = event.params;
console.log(“before create hook triggered”);
// Check if there are already 50 records created today
const todayStart = new Date();
todayStart.setHours(0, 0, 0, 0);

    const todayEnd = new Date();
    todayEnd.setHours(23, 59, 59, 999);

    const count = strapi.db.query('api::xxx-form-entry.xxx-form-entry').count({
        where: {
            created_at: {
                $gte: todayStart,
                $lte: todayEnd,
            },
        },
    }).then(function(count) {
        console.log(count);

        if (count >= 1) {
            // You can customize the error message
            throw new ForbiddenError("Cannot create more than 1 entries in a day");
        }
    });


}

};

For above when i am hitting the Rest API, it does throw error but causes strapi process to restart and obviosly which causes API to fail, whats the best way to handle it
