Patreon\_Wordpress::getUserPatronage($user);

Is not actually giving me the right result after and user resubbed.

Its odd, cause getUserPatronageDuration does return the right value.

What is the result it is giving versus the expected result? How long has it been after the user resubbed?

Patronage should show the current patronage.

Found a way to reproduce this:  
When you disable Oauth only, created accounts with only Patreon will give me that behaviour.

Not really, but if your host or infra has anything that caches calls (incoming,outgoing etc) this could happen easily.

Also check whether the connection of your site to Patreon is still active.
