We study the temporal stability of stripe-type spin order in a layered nickelate with X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy and observe fluctuations on time scales of tens of minutes over a wide temperature range. These fluctuations show an anomalous temperature dependence: they slow down at intermediate temperatures and speed up both upon heating and cooling. This behavior appears to be directly connected with spatial correlations: stripes fluctuate slowly when stripe correlation lengths are large and become faster when spatial correlations decrease. A low-temperature decay of nickelate stripe correlations, reminiscent of what occurs in cuprates due to a competition between stripes and superconductivity, hence occurs via loss of both spatial and temporal correlations.
