Been having this issue on and off and I’m all out of ideas what to do. This error slows down my website by more than a second. It’s a lot when by default, with plugin deleted, it loads in 500-700ms. The only thing I use it for at the moment is removing ads for logged in Patrons. Here’s Query Monitor logs:
Here’s how the health check looks like (there’s a lot more, but would be too long):
These are the last 50 connection issues encountered by your site when contacting Patreon API. These are here for general info on health of the connection of your WP site to Patreon API. They only constitute an error if there are a lot of recent ones. Healthiest integrations should have a number of them (up to 50) in the long run.

The strange thing is, this error is happening on my production website, while on my development website it’s calling this API 200 OK on each page load. This plugin been giving me the most trouble and performance issues in many years of working on WordPress.
I tried:
Also tried deactivating and deleting plugin, making sure plugin folder is deleted, and reinstalling, doing all the above again.
Tried to disable all plugins except Patreon and my own essential plugins that do not modify requests in any way, basically matching the plugin stack with my development website.
Tried deleting plugin, deleting all options starting with “patreon” from wp_options database table, deleting all rewrite rules that had anything to do with Patreon from rewrite_rules in wp_options and reinstalling plugin.
Environment:
WP 5.9.1 with PHP 8.0.15
Patreon WordPress 1.8.2 with API v2
