Hi, paid plugins are supposed to have access to auto-approval when everything is green (my case), even if the “IDE performance” verifier fails because it doesn’t support paid plugins.
I published 6 new plugin releases last night: 1 freemium and 5 paid (3 subscriptions, 2 lifetime). The freemium plugin has been automatically approved, but not the other 5 paid plugins.
It was supposed to work for paid plugins.
If my memory is correct, it worked just one time for me, it was ~a month ago (Feb 20) for my previous releases.

Hello Jonathan,
No, paid plugins are not supposed to get auto-approvals, primarily due to the “IDE performance” verifier. However, you have brought up[this issue before](https://platform.jetbrains.com/t/request-faster-validation-of-paid-plugins/3462), which triggered the discussion within our team. We do plan to address this and make changes in the future!
