Too many password reset requests even when disabled in settings

[coleHafner]

Summary

When attempting to reset a customer's password via the admin, the system tells me 'Too many password reset requests' even when I have disabled the 'max wait time between password resets' in the store configuration settings.

Preconditions

• Magento Open Source version 2.1.7
• Ubuntu version 14.04.5
• Nginx version 1.10.2
• PHP version 7.0.14
• Mysql version 14.14

Steps to reproduce

• Login to the admin
• Go to Customers > All Customers
• Click to edit a customer and click 'Reset Password' from the options in the top
• This works the first time, but only then. Every subsequent request fails.

Expected result

I should get a success message and I should receive a password reset email in my inbox.

Actual result

I get an error 'Too many password reset requests. Please wait and try again or contact hello@example.com.'

The settings @ Stores > Configuration > Customers > Customer Configuration > Password Options are:
Max Number of Password Reset Requests: 0
Max Time Between Password Reset Requests: 0

Config path used when triggered password request from admin is admin/security/min_time_between_password_reset_requests instead of customer/password/min_time_between_password_reset_requests. I'll try to fix it.
