Description Smallman 2012-03-18 13:12:15 UTC 
Repeated successful logins to the same account from the same ip address are throttled. Is there a reason for this?

Probably MW core that is at "fault"

Why would you need to do many logins in a short period, from the same IP? Cache your cookies and use them

$result['wait'] = intval( $wgPasswordAttemptThrottle['seconds'] );

If you're testing out a program with the API, and you repeatedly log in... though outside of debugging, its probably fine.
