My experience with biometrics in general is that it gives you X tries, and then asks for a password. But IIRC if you close the app, and then re-open it, it will give you another X tries with biometric. It isn't like failed password attempts, where it will rate-limit you after a few misses.
(I realise this means I can still get into my phone, just that I might not be able to access certain features - e.g. change passwords - if I'm not at one of my usual locations).
