From my customer: I have 3 abandoned transactions which appear to take away 3 out of the 10 available registrations. I can trash them, but it’s never done this until recently. I’m not always going to be available to monitor it.

Hi Dorian,
Abandoned transactions apply to the reserved count for the duration of the users session (by default it’s 1 hour) and then when WP_Cron is triggered by a user visiting the page the registrations are ‘released’ back on sale again, so you shouldn’t need to monitor registrations.
How long were those abandoned registration counted towards the sold values?
To explain a little of the reasoning for doing this (and have done so for a while now) is to prevent overselling, as User A could add a ticket to the cart and take a few minutes to process through adding their card details etc, in the meantime User B adds the ticket to the cart and shoots through the checkout process and as they have autofill enabled quickly processes their payment.
Which ticket registration should we honour in that situation as both have now paid?

She said: I understand that, but they aren’t being released.

Ok, so it runs on WP_CRON, so if there any issues with WP_CRON it will prevent those from releasing.
Install WPCrontrol: https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/wp-crontrol/
Then go to Tools -> Cron Events.
Any errors shown?

What kind of error would I see?

Any errors really, that plugin usually shows any errors specifically related to WP_CRON at the top of the page when you load it.
Is there a banner referring to WP_CRON being disabled at the top at all?
The cron job it runs on is:
AHEE__EE_Cron_Tasks__clean_up_junk_transactions
So make sure that is in the list, look at the ‘Next run’ value and check that isn’t showing a date in the past.
