To clarify, the problem seems to be that the WP function get_adjacent_post changed how it returns data, specifically, it previously returned a false value if no adjacent post found. Storefront and other themes apparently assumed that a simple boolean test would work to exit their loop to find adjacent products.

while ( $adjacent = $this->get_adjacent_post() ) { ... }

However, in WP 6.9, the get_adjacent_post function does not return false and so the loop becomes infinite and the page times out – with increasingly high CPU loads as unfulfilled page accesses gradually accumulate

There is an issue in Storefront with an infinite loop in the get_adjacent product function.

You need to disable product pagination.

For anyone else who has this problem:

I installed WP-Crontrol and within that plugin Cron Events, you can create URL events that call an arbitrary URL.

So instead of scheduling the BackWPup job directly, change the schedule to start with a link, then copy that link from BackWPup and use it within WP-Crontrol in a URL event at the desired times and intervals.

It works fine.

I am having the same issue. The problem appears to only be on the admin dashboard – cannot access that, get a timeout in the TimeInterval.php file (not always line 321). If I navigate directly to any of the individual admin pages it loads fine.

Can even load the analytics page itself, although the performance icons don’t display (Grey boxes only).

As others have noted, get the same behaviour in recovery mode with default theme and no other plugins.

Yeah, mine started working again too…

There’s another forum post on this here so obviously has been happening on and off for a while. Looks like Defensio may be no longer actively supported (it doesn’t appear at all on the website of its parent WebSense Inc).
