it seems to happen sporadically, as ive done more than 5 and had no problem then randomly ran into problems on other sessions. I made a report here https://github.com/JamminL/cata-classic-bugs/issues/1149

The behavior seems extremely strange, as you are able to manually zone into other dungeons despite being capped, at least from our experience. Just not the dungeons that contributed to the 5 dungeon cap
We did 5 BRC runs, triggered the above mentioned lockout bug but we could manually run into RFC no problem, we even flew down to Vortex Pinnacle to check if it was specifically Cata dungeons were broken but we could zone into that too (but we couldn't manually zone into BRC). According to NIT we'd entered 9 dungeons within 60 minutes (5 RDF, 4 manual).
I have done some further testing and can consistently reproduce this with the exact same result.
Steps:
tl;dr - this bug only applies to dungeons that you have entered in the last 60 minutes.
Is it maybe 10 in 1 hour? i just got this and i did 1 or 2 specifics then like 8 randoms in a row.... then got hit

I think the Dungeon Finder is a red herring here and the actual issue is with dungeon lockouts themselves, it's just causing the Dungeon Finder to break. Here's a quick test which bypasses the dungeon finder that works for me consistently that you can try too.
Head to HOL/HOS, Zone in/out of one dungeon 5 times resetting it until you hit the 5 instance limit, it will stop you going back in after 5 as intended, but if you then fly over to the other dungeon and attempt to zone in, it will let you zone in, BUT if you then zone out, reset and zone back in you will be locked. If you want you can then go and find another unrelated dungeon to zone into and you should experience the same thing. Not locked > reset > locked.
1. Current Behavior
1.1. Description
If you enter 5 dungeons via the Dungeon Finder within 60 minutes, then you are prevented from entering any further dungeons via the Dungeon Finder until the hourly cap expires. This is not correct behavior, the Dungeon Finder should ignore the hourly cap.
1.2. How to Reproduce
If you attempt to Random queue for a dungeon, you will be able to successfully queue, however once the group has formed and you are supposed to be teleported into the instance, you will instead fail to teleport in and receive the "You have entered too many instances recently" error.
1.3 Source Material
My 5man group has encountered this issue when attempting to speed level to 85 on the beta by spamming Blackrock Caverns. We then attempted to replicate it on live (Cata prepatch) and we were able to do so using currently available dungeons.
2. Expected Behavior
2.1. Description
The dungeon finder does not care about the 5 dungeon per hour limit. It never has at any point in the past of either Classic or Retail since its original implementation.
2.2 Source Material
{Video, Posts, etc..}
This has the potential to be catastrophic for Cataclysm Launch given the amount of players that prefer to dungeon grind than quest to max level on launch.
----EDIT WITH FURTHER TESTING---- I have done some further testing and can consistently reproduce this with the exact same result. Steps:
tl;dr - this bug only applies to dungeons that you have entered in the last 60 minutes.
