 * Ok, it is not breaking per say, the plugin update checks do occur, but very, 
   very, very frequently.
 * Please update both instances of `EDD_SL_Plugin_Updater.php` in:
    - `\ninja-forms\includes\Integrations\EDD`
    - `\ninja-forms\deprecated\includes`
 * These older versions of the library use `current_time( 'timestamp' )` instead
   of `time()` when setting the `last_checked` property.
 * The usage of `current_time( 'timestamp' )` in most cases will always be greater
   than the `timeout` value which causes plugin update checks to occur on every 
   call to `set_site_transient( 'update_plugins', $transient )` basically every 
   time WP Cron is run which depending on the site can be frequently.
 * I know this bug was corrected in version `1.6.17` of the library released around
   Aug/Sept of last year. The current released version is either `1.6.18` or `1.6.19`.
   The later exists, unsure if it is released.
 * It would be great if you could release an update addressing this asap since it
   affects so many sites. fyi, it affects my sites even though I do not have any
   Ninja Forms premium addons.

 * Hey Steven,
 * Thanks very much for the heads up. We’ll take a look at getting this library 
   updated soon.
