 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.
