really? what's the standard for that? like how often should you be rotating your password?

I assumed many people forget their new passwords (because I often do) and become compromised than are protected by continually rotating passwords.

I have over 500 passwords in my password manager. I don’t know what I’d do without it.

It's one of the updated NIST recommendations, I don't recall which one but it specifically calls out no password cycling for MFA protected accounts.
