Patreon notified me that some people's payments may have been declined recently because of a processing issue on their end, so if you notice that this has happened to you, you can evidently retry with whatever card you're using and that should work. If not, you may need to contact your card issuer to confirm the charge is valid.Basically this is the result of Patreon being dumb, and I hope it hasn't affected too many people here!

I haven't gotten my Patreon receipt yet, so I have no idea if it denied or is delayed. Update: I checked online, and my payments went through.

Yeah, from what I can tell on my end, I don’t think many Dresden Codak patrons were affected

Only some of my payments went through so it seems to have been selective on the creators’ side for me, which seems to be the case when it’s PayPal, so I don’t really know what options i have, i still appear pledged to all my creators and have a next due date in September for them all.

Oh man, almost all of my monthly pledges got declined and it seems like I have to retry each one individually. Even that doesn't seem like it works every time. GJ Patreon. Hope this doesn't cost you too much. :(

Repeatedly retrying the same card for multiple memberships is only going to get the card blocked by the bank. Especially it the card processor is now in Ireland instead of California. I'm looking for alternate (non PayPal) routes to support artists. It would be nice if Ko-Fi had a better UI.

In the same boat as Byron - all my pledges got declined, have to re-subscribe to all of them, and maybe 1/5 are failing to go through for some reason. I feel so bad for all the creators impacted by this :(

It has affected me and I noticed only now, because life... I was usually relying on Patreon notifications for keeping updated on some comics / catching up after stressful phases.
