Hi @redwiregareth,
Thank you for bringing this up — we truly understand how a slow-loading admin area can impact your workflow and cause frustration, especially with repeated attempts to connect to api.stripe.com.
The good news is that this is a known issue, and our team is already aware of it. You can follow the conversation here: GitHub Issue #4270.
Our developers are actively working on a fix. In the meantime, you might also find this update helpful: GitHub Pull Request #4323.
We really appreciate your patience, and if you have any further questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Thanks for the reply, for the time being I’ve disabled this function so that my client can use the admin panel.
By deactivating this function it won’t affect taking payments will it?
Hi @redwiregareth,
That makes sense, thanks for the update.
Disabling that function shouldn’t affect payment processing directly, but it might prevent the plugin from detecting and managing detached Stripe subscriptions, which could lead to inconsistencies over time.
As a more stable workaround, you can consider downgrading the WooCommerce Stripe Gateway plugin to version 9.4.1, which doesn’t include the behavior you’re seeing. You can find previous versions here:

Thank you.
Thank you.
I believe said this issue has been acknowledge by the team and a fix will be implemented in future versions?
Hi @redwiregareth,
Yes, you’re absolutely right—the issue has been acknowledged by the development team and a fix was planned for a future release.
It looks like that fix has already been included in the latest update released just a few hours ago on May 17, 2025. You can find the changelog confirming the update here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-gateway-stripe/#developers
Please check your plugins page for the Stripe Gateway version 9.5.1 update and apply it. That should resolve the repeated get_some_detached_subscriptions() calls that were slowing down your admin panel.
Please let us know if the issue clears up after updating.
