# Historical data import issue

 * Hello,
 * I’m experiencing an issue with the **WooCommerce Admin’s historical data import**.
   The import process for customers and orders doesn’t complete and continuously
   sends hundreds of thousands of requests every 5 seconds. I don’t need to recover
   these historical data, and I simply want to stop the process.
 * When I click the **“Interrupt import”** button, the process appears to stop, 
   but it automatically restarts as soon as I leave the page. This is causing excessive
   server load.
 * Could you please help me **permanently stop the import process** and prevent 
   it from restarting on its own?
 * Thank you for your assistance.
 * Best regards,
