High CPU

Hi!

I had an issue with my CC processing plugin, Stripe. The input field would not show up. We installed this plugin and the issue was fixed. But then suddenly the CPU usage jumped like significantly because of AJAX requests. Sample of requests below.

Is it possible that this plugin caused the spike?

It might be that the CPU issue was happening before I installed the plugin. Our hosting service (siteground) said the CPU issue started the same day…so I am not sure if there was something else going on, or if this plugin caused the issue.

I am testing now to see if disabling fixes the issue. When I disable the plugin, the Stripe problem is gone, so maybe I do not need the plugin anymore…

Any help is appreciated!
