 * My site is also experiencing this. I have been tackling this issue for 2 weeks
   now, since my WordPress 5.7 auto-update. From what I have found so far, WP 5.7
   introduced a HTTPS Detection and Migration solution into the new build. In my
   case, I had Really Simple SSL plugin installed to handle my original switch to
   HTTPS. I had removed Really Simply SSL 2 nights ago, and everything started working
   again. Today, we encounter Stripe Failed API error, which has been present intermittently
   during my 2 week outage. In my opinion, it needs to be a collaborative effort
   between WordPress, WooCommerce, and Stripe and possibly redirect plugins like
   Really Simply SSL.
 * This issue has been intermittent, works great for days, then pops back up.
 * Also, getting this notification when this issue happens.

 * Hi,
 * Thank you for your time. My host finally admitted the shared server was having
   a DDoS attack, so they were throttling my secure connections, causing a headache
   of intermittent issues. Bye-bye hostgator!
