 * Double check this in dashboard – settings – discussion
 * `Automatically close comments on articles older than`
 * If that setting is okay, then try:
    – deactivating ALL (yes all) plugins temporarily
   to see if this resolves the problem (plugin functions can interfere). If this
   works, re-activate them individually (one-by-one) to find the problematic plugin(
   s). – switching to the unedited default Theme (Twenty Seventeen.) for a moment
   using the WP dashboard to rule out any theme-specific issue (theme functions 
   can interfere like plugins).
