It is used when switching, installing or updating plugins. A lookup can find a plugin not read, listed, or hidden by policy.\n\nIf reading the directory fails, work that runs without a person present does not retry for a while. The message names the time when the directory can be asked again.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis affects how plugin installs and switches are matched against the directory.\n\n- Area: Plugins\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5\n- Scope: both\n- Heads-up: no"}
