Sounds like a bot could be causing that.
Do all of your Wordpress backoffice registered users have a common sense name?
Do you want visitors to sign up as users? setting found at Settings-> General -> membership (check uncheck anyone can register.

Hi - are you talking about your website?
I wonder if you have got the setting that allows other people to register as users on your site?
Log in to your site and go to Settings and General. There is a box that says "anyone can register" - this should not be ticked/checked.

Why do I get 15 password resets per hour (or more)?

I know exactly what you're talking about. I receive these also from WordPress. I changed my password there and still receive this odd notice. I finally decided the messages are about someone else within WP changing their password, which serves as an automatic reminder to everyone to do this, the goal being that we do it now and again. As you said, the notices increase or decrease for a while. Maybe more people this quarter did change, or not, triggering the message. I got one this week. So, these I now ignore and so far, suffer no dire consequences.
