How many of you are having this issue?
Patreon is kicking people out of their subscriptions at random, if thats happening to you guys let me know. Im trying to diagnose this issue of not getting patrons back properly.
If so or if not, please make sure youre still patronned to me by next month, or lemme know why ive been bleeding patrons. It used to be maintain at 2000 patrons now its a struggle to keep 500. I have plans to move out and i cant if this isnt steady.

No issues here - subscriptions look ok. Will keep an eye on them though.
It's definitely a Patreon issue. At the beginning of this month, I was booted from all but four people that I support. Those four? Happy to take my money. Everyone else? Just wouldn't do it. And for the first week of the month, just wouldn't take my money. Not even over another payment method or even the awful PayPal. Then, over the course of the last nine days or so, I'd go through the entire failed list on the daily and it'd start to take my money for some people. But seemingly at random. Like...yep, yep, nope, yep, nope, nope, nope, yep...you get the idea. Finally got everyone back yesterday. As far as I can tell, it was triggered by Patreon moving.their funds to Dublin as a tax avoidanc scheme...but, who knows. Maybe it's just coincidental timing with that. Either way, the best to you. I hope Patreon gets this nonsense straightened out. But I also suggest having a parallel...like, SubscribeStar or Fanbox or something. Fewer people there and it's annoying to update multiple places, but income diversity is good.
I'm still here so no problem on my part
As a creator, I have a similar issue. At the start of every month, it bumps down by like 20 Patreons without me receiving any unsubbing alerts. It's not as big of a %, but still makes it a slog to grow...
i lose almost 200 patrons every month, back when i could promote it, id gain nearly 500 - 700 back so it wasnt a problem but its just yeh no
Yea I messaged patreon and other creators I've lost about it. Apparently patreon did something that activated fraud alerts. I had to contact my bank and patreon made a fix that allowed me to resub a week later.
