I just tried to get in from the lobby, I am still logged into the lobby, I can access chat, I just can't get back into the game. I exited to the lobby to check on dinner, then I tried to get back in and the message too many log in attempts. How can I have a log in attempt when I am already in the lobby? See if restarting the client and attempting to join a different world works.

The login name ties account information together across multiple Jagex systems, so it is not just a matter of changing the login name in one place. Changing the login name is a long, error prone manual process, and if it goes wrong your account is lost. For this reason, Jagex very rarely do this.

They already gave special circumstances to streamers (woox and zezima) to change there usernames, so it can't be hard I already explained this, see my earlier post.
I'm pretty sure Zezima declined the offer to change the login name, probably due to the risks involved.
The over whelming majority of players have a work around available, which a far better option than the risky process of changing the login name. Glad to be of service
