Exclude category from product category list widget

So i’m using this snippet to hide category from product categories list:

function woo_product_cat_widget_args( $cat_args ) {
    $cat_args['exclude'] = array('177');
    return $cat_args;
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_product_categories_widget_args', 'woo_product_cat_widget_args' );
add_filter( 'woocommerce_product_categories_widget_dropdown_args', 'woo_product_cat_widget_args');

– and it works perfectly till i check option “Only show children of the current category” then it doesn’t work anymore. Do i need another filter for that or am i missing something?
