'jwt auth doesn't work for other controllers in Laravel?

Laravel web auth was working well. I'm trying to use jwt-auth module. Here's my code with jwt-auth module

---authcontroller.php
    public function login(Request $request)
    {
        $validator = Validator::make($request->all(), [
            'email' => 'required|email',
            'password' => 'required|string|min:6',
        ]);

        if ($validator->fails()) {
            // return response()->json($validator->errors(), 200);
            session()->flash('error', json_encode($validator->errors()));
            return back()->withInput();
        }
        if (!$token = auth()->attempt($validator->validated())) {
            // return response()->json(['error' => 'Unauthorized'], 200);
            session()->flash('error', 'These credentials do not match.');
            return back()->withInput();
        }
        //////// this is test code
        echo auth()->check();
        //////////////////
        $response_token = $this->createNewToken($token);
        session()->flash('token', $response_token);
        return Redirect::to('/');
    }

---web.php

Route::group([
    'middleware' => 'api',
    'prefix' => 'auth'

],
    function ($router) {
        Route::post('/login', [AuthController::class, 'login']);
        Route::post('/register', [AuthController::class, 'register']);
        Route::post('/logout', [AuthController::class, 'logout']);
        Route::post('/refresh', [AuthController::class, 'refresh']);
        Route::get('/user-profile', [AuthController::class, 'userProfile']);
    }
);
---auth.php

    'defaults' => [
        'guard' => 'api',
        'passwords' => 'users',
    ],


    'guards' => [
        'web' => [
            'driver' => 'session',
            'provider' => 'users',
        ],

        'api' => [
            'driver' => 'jwt',
            'provider' => 'users',
            'hash' => false,
        ],
    ],

The problem is *test code returns true, but in the redirection controller, auth()->check() returns false. i.e. auth()->check() returns true only when login controller, but returns false for other controllers

What's the problem?

Use auth('api') hence auth('api')->check()

auth() helper function by default returns the authenticated user and stores it in session and cookie for jwt or any other api authenitcation methods use auth('api') which is gonna check the Bearer token and if the user is authenticated or not.
