You can always verify your account by the phone number. That way, they will cut you a little slack.
Facebook implement a policy called "Acceptable use"
They can set limits to how often you can use a feature.
If you use it too often, they can stop you from using it for a while. Not only is this to stop you from spamming other users, it's there to provide protection to facebook (too many requests can bring the server to its knees, which means facebook goes down).
I suggest you wait for the feature to be unlocked (should only be a short while), and then tone it down on the usage. This includes reseting passwords and or changing any information like your email as well.
Here is all the info I could find on why this is happening. Hope it helps.
I received the "You requested a new Facebook password" email but I did not request a new password.

If you have received a Facebook password reset email that you did not request, it is likely that someone accidentally entered your email address or username when attempting to log in to their account. This often happens if you have a popular username or email address. As long as you do not click the link contained in the email, no action will be taken, and your account will remain secure.
However, if you receive a second email confirming that your password was reset, please visit the our Security section and take steps to secure your account. /help/?faq=17511

- Check the Junk/Spam mail folder in your email account in case the email to reset your password was misdirected by your email provider.
- Remember to check the inbox of all email addresses and mobile numbers to which you may have sent the password reset email. When you request a password reset, you will see a list of any email addresses and mobile numbers confirmed on your account. Note that for security reasons, parts of the email addresses and phone numbers will be hidden (e.g., [email protected], xxxxxxx5555).
- If you’re unable to find the password reset email, try to reset your password again by clicking here.
- After requesting a password reset a second time, if you still do not receive the email, wait 24 hours and try again. We may be experiencing temporary site issues that are affecting password reset emails.
- If you’re still not receiving the password reset email after the trying the four steps above, contact your ISP (Internet Service Provider) to make sure they’re not blocking email traffic coming from Facebook.
Tip: For security reasons, we limit the number of password resets that can be requested for an account in a short period of time. If you request to reset your password too many times too quickly, you may be blocked from requesting more for a short period of time. If this happens, wait 24 hours and try again.

If you no longer have access to an email address associated with your Facebook account, you will need to contact your email service provider in order to regain access to that address.
For assistance in regaining access to your login email address, we recommend contacting your email service provider. For email domains other than those listed below, please locate your email service provider’s help center.
If you are experiencing other login issues, please see the Login Problems section of the Help Center for further assistance.
Please note that if you are having trouble accessing an existing account on the site, please do not create another account, as this is a violation of our Terms of Use and may delay resolution of the issue.
