Plugins deprecated for over 6 months can no longer be installed in Grafana Cloud

We are reducing the number of deprecated and outdated plugins running in Grafana Cloud. You can no longer install plugins that have been deprecated for more than 6 months. Existing installations are not affected, and the error message points to the deprecation notice in the plugin catalog, which usually names an alternative.

Use Grafana Advisor to check whether your Grafana Cloud instances are running deprecated or outdated plugins.
