Description

When performing an Ajax request via admin-ajax.php custom excerpt_length hooks in themes and plugins are being overwritten by the hook in wp-includes/blocks/post-excerpt.php.

​https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/blob/master/wp-includes/blocks/post-excerpt.php#L86-L95

This line is forcing 100 words to be returned in all admin-ajax requests.
