This problem is actually caused a lot of times by not having enough memory on the site.

Method 2: Sometimes the admin-ajax script times out and this problem occurs. You can press F12 to open the console and see if there is an error message. If you see the message "Failed to load resource: server response status is 413", it means it is timeout. At this time, you can add some instructions in the .htaccess file to extend the dynamic timeout time.

SetEnvIf Request_URI "admin-ajax.php" DynamicTimeout=150
SetEnvIf Request_URI "admin-ajax.php" DynamicTimeout=150
SetEnvIf Request_URI "admin-ajax.php" DynamicTimeout=150
