Thank you so much for the report. I've no idea. I've not received any email from Microsoft / VSCode marketplace team. It's not showing in the Manage Publishers & Extensions page as well.

I dropped an email to vsmarketplace@microsoft.com .

[codewithrenato]

You're welcome. Yesterday I was able to download it, today I wanted to install in another machine and it was gone.

[ritwickdey]

Yeah. I've received email notification for new reviews yesterday as well.

I've no idea where can I reach out. I can only see vsmarketplace@microsoft.com email id in the Manage Publishers & Extensions page .

Asked here as well microsoft/vscode-discussions#1 (comment)

was just doing a fresh install and couldn't find it!

This email from VS Marketplace Support team.

The latest version of the extension was successfully recovered. 
We will work on recovering stats next and provide an update once that happens.

This is likely related to microsoft/vsmarketplace#1114

It seems that for extensions which were impacted by the event-stream vulnerability 7 yrs ago, MS intended to clean up only old versions that contained the vulnerable package and accidentally deleted all their versions.

[ritwickdey]

yes same issue. @t1m0thyj ...!!!

PS (for others): this issue was fixed long back (2018 I guess).

Correct this is explained via microsoft/vsmarketplace#1114
Sorry about that
