    Few recommendations:

    1. Use resource route instead of single routes -> https://laravel.com/docs/9.x/controllers#resource-controllers

    2. Read more about validation rules -> https://laravel.com/docs/9.x/validation#available-validation-rules

    3. You can customize the response status:

      200 Success
404 Not Found (page or other resource doesn't exist)
401 Not authorized (not logged in)
403 Logged in but access to requested area is forbidden
400 Bad request (something wrong with URL or parameters)
422 Unprocessable Entity (validation failed)
500 General server error

    API Route

    //In the api route header
use AppHttpControllersUserController;
 
//The route method
Route::patch('/update/{user}', [UserController::class, 'update'])->middleware('auth:api');

    UserController

        /**
     * Update the specified model.
     *
     * @param  IlluminateHttpRequest  $request
     * @param  User $user
     * @return IlluminateHttpResponse
     */
    public function update(Request $request, User $user)
    {
        //Please read: https://laravel.com/docs/9.x/validation#available-validation-rules
        //For more information about validation rules and how they work.
        $data = $request->validate([
                    'name' => '|max:255',
                    'phone'=> 'max:255',
                    'email' => '|email|unique:users',
                    'period'=> 'max:255',
                    'babyname'=> 'max:255',
                    'baby_date'=> 'max:255',
                ]);
                
        $user->update($data);
        
        //You can pass a response status to handle it in your view/javascript as required 
        return response()->json([
            'user' => $user->toArray(),
        ], 200);
    }

    Fix your route; it is not found; you have to supply the ID inside the route to reach the controller:

    Route::patch('/update/{id}', function (IlluminateHttpRequest $request) {
// ...

    Changes

    1. Removed typo. 'name' => '|max:255' to 'name' => 'max:255' and 'email' => '|email|unique:users' to 'email' => 'email|unique:users'
    2. Condition based unique() check added 'email|unique:users,email,' . $request->user()->id,. This will be used to Skip the Current record.
    3. return should be placed inside the Route(), not outside.
    4. Used $user = $request->user(); to update the record.
    Route::patch('/update', function (IlluminateHttpRequest $request) {

    $user = $request->user();

    $data = $request->validate([
        'name' => 'max:255', # remove "|"
        'phone'=> 'max:255',
        'email' => 'email|unique:users,email,' . $request->user()->id,  # remove "|"
        'period'=> 'max:255',
        'babyname'=> 'max:255',
        'baby_date'=> 'max:255',
    ]);

    $user->update($data);

    return new IlluminateHttpJsonResponse(['user' => $user] , 200);
})->middleware('auth:api');

    Or for the in-detail update.(Without update())

    $user = $request->user();

$user->name = $data['name'];
$user->phone = $data['phone'];
$user->email = $data['email'];
$user->period = $data['period'];
$user->babyname = $data['babyname'];
$user->baby_date = $data['baby_date'];

$user->save();
