 * I have email notifications set to maximum 3 per hour and it is flooding me with
   notifications every few minutes. I have this bug in more than one site.
 * I reported this 10 months ago and got no reply.
 * Version 8.8.5

 * I think this is working now on most of my sites. It may be just one site now.
   I will keep an eye on it.

 * Most likely, it’s caused by a conflict with another plugin — specifically a caching
   one.

 * On one of the sites, it stills send emails like it is unlimited although it is
   set for only 3 per hour. I turned off notifications. I have Powered Cache and
   Cloudflare.
 * A couple of the other sites that are always having a lot of lockouts, but the
   email notifications behave properly, use WP Super Cache and one is using Cloudflare,
   so I think that rules out Cloudflare.
 * That leaves Powered Cache.
