[V13.2] Error when trying to reset password

Hi ,

After updating to V13.2 we keep encountering the error below when trying to reset a user password:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/frappe/frappe-bench/apps/frappe/frappe/app.py", line 68, in application
    response = frappe.api.handle()
  File "/home/frappe/frappe-bench/apps/frappe/frappe/api.py", line 54, in handle
    return frappe.handler.handle()
  File "/home/frappe/frappe-bench/apps/frappe/frappe/handler.py", line 31, in handle
    data = execute_cmd(cmd)
  File "/home/frappe/frappe-bench/apps/frappe/frappe/handler.py", line 67, in execute_cmd
    return frappe.call(method, **frappe.form_dict)
  File "/home/frappe/frappe-bench/apps/frappe/frappe/__init__.py", line 1175, in call

    _raise_exception()

    raise raise_exception(msg)
frappe.exceptions.ValidationError: You hit the rate limit because of too many requests. Please try after sometime.

Please help fix asap!

Thanks

Created a Github Issue:

https://github.com/frappe/erpnext/issues/25596

Currently using a quick fix pending when the issue would be resolved.
Access this file

frappe-bench/apps/frappe/frappe/rate_limiter.py
and comment line number 120 and 121.
That should do the trick.

In V13.4, there is a setting under System Settings > Password > Password Reset Link Generation Limit
The default set is 3 - This limits the Password Generation link to 3 times per hour. Just increase this and it works
