Uncaught Error: Class "Automattic\WooCommerce\Blocks\Patterns\PatternsHelper" not found

[EjayhanFernandes]

I'm seeing multiple reports of this PHP error:

An error of type E_ERROR occurred in line 9 of the file /nas/content/live/websitename/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/packages/woocommerce-blocks/patterns/featured-category-cover-image.php. 

The error message is as follows: Uncaught Error: Class 'Automattic\WooCommerce\Blocks\Patterns\PatternsHelper' not found in /nas/content/live/websitename/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/packages/woocommerce-blocks/patterns/featured-category-cover-image.php:9

We attempted to reproduce the problem but were unsuccessful in doing so.

For fellow users encountering similar issues, it might be beneficial to consider the following points and communicate them to help us debug this issue:

• Have you successfully run version 8.3.1 without encountering any problems?
• When updating WooCommerce, does reactivating the plugin after disabling it resolve any issues?
• If fatal errors persist, it would be helpful to know the method employed for updating WooCommerce (e.g., FTP, via a multi-site management panel, through the 'Update' button on the plugins page, or by uploading the zip file using the plugin updater tool)?

Thanks!
