Description

Hi there,

I'm experiencing a strange issue when ACF and WooCommerce are active. When editing a post/page I can update the post/page exactly 6 times. On the 7th update, the update button (in Gutenberg) gets stuck loading and never finishes. This happens every time when trying to update a post/page for the 7th time. If I exit the post/page and go back, I can again update the post 6 times before it gets stuck.

This only happens when the WooCommerce plugin is activated. If I disable WooCommerce I can update a post/page without any issues.

Do you have any idea of what could be causing this issue?

Thanks in advance!

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in the Gutenberg editor with ACF and WooCommerce both active, then compare the seventh update with WooCommerce disabled. Inspect the request or error that prevents the update from finishing; done means repeated post/page updates complete successfully with both plugins enabled.
