Hey creators,

As some of you know, our payments have been running slower than normal. Normally payments take roughly 24 hours to run, but this time payments are on track to require 5-6 days.

While we have now processed the majority of payments, we expect that all of them will be completed by the end of the day Wednesday (11:59 PM PT). You can pay out the available funds in your account at any point in time, and by Wednesday night (PT) you should have all of your monthly earnings available, minus any declined payments. If there are declined payments, we will run the retry process throughout the month as usual.

We understand that any delay to receiving your payment is unacceptable, and we have built an alternate solution where Patreon will extend payout advance on your funds for creators who need it. You can now go to the payout preferences page and select “Payout Advance” when you withdraw your balance.

If you have auto payouts set up for the 5th, that process will run as normal. However since payment processing won’t be fully completed at that time, the full amount may not be immediately available. Please check back late on Wednesday, Feb 6th. You will need to initiate a manual payout for any funds that come in after your auto-payouts.

You can continue to monitor status.patreon.com for more timely updates, or visit @patreonstatus on Twitter.

Once again, we're sorry for this delay and thank you for your incredible patience while we continue working.
