Solution
The rate limits for the '/api/v1/authn/recovery/password' endpoint fall under the /api/v1/authn/* rate limit umbrella. The overall /api/v1/authn/* endpoint rate limit for an organization can vary depending on the subscription type. For more details about rate limits, please see the related references below:
If testing a Tenant and checking for vulnerabilities, all test API requests must be packed into the same 60-second window. Rate limiting errors can be observed when this per-minute rate limit is reached.
NOTE: If all the requests are spread over several minutes, rate limit errors will not occur.
