Are women ever finished? Men often physically can’t keep going after orgasm and need to recover, but women can get several orgasms. Is there a limit even?
"Refractory period" is the term, and the soft limits of it affect people differently. Short answer yes everyone has a reflex that diminishes the returns on stimulation in various circumstances. That ranges from single orgasm and significant refractory period to avoid discomfort, up to cases of multiple orgasms in the same session regardless of gender. This can also change with mood and other circumstances.

I’ve been told yes, but I’ve also been lied to about that sort of thing. So your guess is as good as mine.
Yes, there's only so much the body can physically take. It depends on the woman how long it takes, but after a certain point there's just nothing left for them to give, and it my relationships, I always advise shoulder taps cuz words are gone. I've gotten all of my partners to that point on multiple occasions, and they basically act like goo piles until they have time to recover, it's kinda adorable.
Fair enough, I've achieved that once or twice, but not more. Tbh between some partners getting 0 orgasms over 3 years together and some getting 20 in one session I’m starting to think this depends on the woman herself even more than the man's abilities.
