We moved off that as soon as the 8.0.120.x was out. Make sure your AP's can support 8.x code before you migrate to it. 95% of the issues we had on 7.4 and 7.6 went away once we moved to the new software.
If you're not running LAG, that will create problems in the 7.x software.

Could be a case of the WLC reusing RADIUS session IDs which will totally break stuff and is a know issue under high numbers of authentications. Cisco have gone some way to fix this issue in the latest 8.x, but as far as I'm concerned their RADIUS client design is overall still pretty bad. > > After a few hours it fixed itself.

But could be anything like eap timers not tuned well, wireless issues at the edge, etc. Or backend auth being slow.
