From what I see, In most cases, yeah, “all over the place for days” sounds way more like Google being Google than a plugin casually nuking one post. That said, I wouldn’t totally ignore the plugin angle if it’s just that one page. I’ve seen updates mess with canonicals/schema in dumb little ways that don’t show up as a clean error anywhere. If impressions are still there and clicks died, I’d lean SERP/snippet junk. If impressions dropped too, then something changed in how it’s being handled or ranked. Wouldn’t go full panic mode yet. Google’s been doing this weird wobble thing a lot lately.
