Error message

plugin is disabled

What it means

requirePluginEnabled middleware in plugin/pluginenabled.go aborts with 400 when the plugin configuration for the route's id is missing (conf == nil) or has Enabled == false, blocking the request from reaching a disabled plugin's endpoints. It is a generic per-request guard on plugin enablement state stored in the database.

Solutions

1. Enable the plugin via SetPluginEnabled before calling its endpoints
2. Confirm the request targets the correct plugin id and that the plugin conf row exists in the database
3. Handle the 400 response client-side by refreshing plugin state instead of retrying
