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.

Closing, login throttling has been rewritten in 2016. Please reopen if it still occurs (but shouldn't as far as I can see).
