The question is not why is he biting you too much, but why is he biting you at all? Even in play, my dogs have always stopped immediately if my hand ends up in their mouth. They literally freeze in place until I move my hand away. I have zero tolerance for a dog biting a person under any circumstances except protection work.
Personally, I've found that holding their muzzle firmly shut and saying "NO BITE!" in a strong tone of voice works well. The dog doesn't like the restraint, and after a few reps, all I have to do is say NO BITE! when he looks like he might be thinking about it. Like I said, my dogs stop instantly.

Maybe your dog is playing. No matter what, if this is a behavior you don't want, you have to establish YOU are the leader. After s/he nips you, immediately grab the nape of the neck, shake the dog some and forcefully say "NO." If that doesn't work, give a little slap downward on the nose with "NO."

this technique has worked for two dogs so far:
offer my hand to be bitten and then bring the other hand down on it with a loud clapping sound (if they do bite you, they should recoil just before the other hand hits.) as a bonus, i also say "no!" this trains the dog not to bite, and to become submissive at the sound of a clap.

Or pull off the dog and look at his eyes saying NO firmly two or three times. Looking at the dog's eyes will intimidate him. They do not like that and can at times a threatening sound but keep firm and he will learn and go away.

every time he does that firmly tell him NO, and tap his nose lightly and say NO again. if he continues lightly tap him on butt with a newspaper, the dog always wants your approval and aims to please, so this shuld stop him doing that.........[ when saying no raise your voice slightly to show you disapprove of his biting] this works for other things the dog might do that you do not like

I have a puppy CairnTerrier and when she bites at the ankle, I spray her from one of those plastic houseplant sprayers containing cold water

Get a dog trainer to help you- it really helped with my dog.

For a young pup, when it nips you too hard, do exactly what its mother would do - a small slap on the nose.

Grab him by the throat and hold him down, that's how alphas show dominance.
