 * Clients’ customers are reporting an error that says this:
   “PayPal token requests
   are paused for X more seconds after a previous failure.”Okay, I ran a test, and
   I did see that I had to wait for the seconds to be able to complete a legitimate
   transaction. How can we fix this?Where is this coming from?Thank you!

   Thanks for opening
   a ticket about this. Just to confirm this is PayPal Commerce on your site? Are
   you able to share your site URL? Is this happening before or after the payment
   attempt?Let me know and I’ll take a look right away into what might be causing
   this.Best,Scott

   So I looked into
   this more. I don’t believe this message is coming from our plugin. It seems to
   be coming from WooCommerce PayPal Payments (WooCommerce’s official PayPal plugin),
   which is also active on your site I’m guessing? Perhaps try deactivating that
   and using our plugin and see if the error goes away.Best,Scott

   please reply and let me know.Best,Scott
