Hey, I'm really sorry if any of you have run into a problem with Patreon declining your card for no discernible reason this cycle. Something went awry. Creators all had synchronized heart attacks this morning as we watched our patronage plummet without explanation. It seems Patreon is trying to address it, but I want to apologize if it has proven to be any inconvenience.
From what I can tell, they are reaching out to everyone whose cards were declined to explain. The system should automatically make another attempt at the charge after it fails the first time. They may also suggest updating/changing your payment method, though. That more or less puts the onus for their technical errors on the users here, and that's not cool at all. You shouldn't have to change your legitimate card information to fix what's wrong with Patreon. I do understand if you've reached your frustration threshold with this platform and you wish to leave.
Again, I'm very sorry.
