 * We have had consistent issues with upgrading our version of WP Offload SES Lite
   in our WordPress multisite. We typically test plugin updates in both a dev and
   qa environment before pushing to production. Our dev environment is setup with
   multiple servers and the qa environment has a single server. Every time we try
   to update to the latest version of the plugin, we see a consistent issue in our
   error logs for both environments:
 * `[13-Oct-2020 02:19:28 UTC] WordPress database error Deadlock found when trying
   to get lock; try restarting transaction for query DELETE FROM`wwcmsp_options`
   WHERE`option_name`= '_transient_wposes_doing_cron_check' made by require_once('
   wp-load.php'), require_once('wp-config.php'), require_once('wp-settings.php'),
   do_action('wp_loaded'), WP_Hook->do_action, WP_Hook->apply_filters, DeliciousBrains\
   WP_Offload_SES\Queue\Queue_Status->check_status, delete_transient, delete_option`
 * We did try pushing to prod despite this error once and several of our sites started
   having 1-2 day delays with receiving emails. We’d love to get this plugin updated
   but can’t risk having our sites not receive email as many are using it for critical
   web form submissions that must be timely.
 * Note – we have about 1,000 sites on our multisite currently.
 * I’m hoping someone from the team can provide insight as to why this is happening
   and/or what we might be able to do to fix it. Thanks!
