Anyone else experiencing a huge drop in traffic send from their wp.org plugin page to their website?

I noticed the last couple of weeks a sudden drop in sales, and after letting the Google Analytics ai bot analyze what changed it told me there was a 48% drop in traffic from wordpress.org to my site.
My plugin still ranks #1 for a keyword that matters, and it has been in that position for almost a decade. So that's not the issue, but I wonder if this is just me, or are other plugin developers noticing a huge drop in traffic from wp.org?
If others are experiencing the same issue, any idea what's behind it? Yes, ai exists, but everything was completely fine the last couple of months. It's the sudden drop that confuses me. No new competition appeared as well.
