If the Doctor is the Timeless child then she was the only being already with the innate ability to regenerate. The 12 times thing was a law the Timelords created for the people of Gallifrey?

Yeah that's the way I took it, the limit was imposed.
In Five Doctors, we learn that Rassilon could regenerate endlessly, and that the then-President was trying to get this power too.
The Master was in a stolen human body at the time, and they said they could give him a regeneration cycle.
I think Master being the Timeless Child makes more sense, s/he's the one who inexplicable cheated death so many times
