 * My client just got in touch to ask why their WooCommerce order numbers were suddenly
   skyrocketing (from 4000s to 22,000s in a few days). Turns out:
    a) The order 
   id is the row id from the posts table. b) This plugin was flooding the posts 
   table with posts labeled “wc-admin_import_order”. I can see why others have complained
   about it using up all of their server resources.

 * Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately, you will see a jump in order (and other
   post type) IDs each time you run the WC Admin import process.

 * I get this every single day all the time no matter what. Ridiculous. I only ran
   the WC Admin import process once.
    My orders jump thousands every few days. I
   noticed the bug report was closed off prematurely while researching. Definitely
   seems prematurely available. Just deactivated the plugin.
