On longer form posts, the auto save can take 5-10 minutes to finish saving. And it tries to run every couple of minutes or so. Even right after I click save manually. Sometimes it tries to save so much that it crashes my browser page and I lose my work. I have already lost about four hours of work from it stalling or crashing my browser page. Normal saving takes only 15 seconds so I know it\u2019s not a server performance issue. I just want it gone, I don\u2019t want to have to edit the code in PHP files to disable it. Just make an easy to access option to disable this please.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-18786435","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/18786435","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/18786435\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18786436,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/18786435\/revisions\/18786436"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18786435"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
