Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

WP PlugIndex currently records Longer Permalinks version 1.32 as active, updated 1y ago and tested up to WordPress 6.8.
Overview
About this plugin
This plugin allows you to use longer URLs (permalinks), by allowing much more characters in your titles and slug. The important is that this is done in a way that is future compatible with WordPress core updates.
There is a 200 characters limitation on WordPress core nowadays and this limit is raised to 3000 with the plugin.
Plugin is always extending the current WordPress core code – your long URLs will work even after WordPress core updates.
This plugin is really useful especially in non-latin slugs because of the required url escaping that increases the length of your permalinks a lot.
Features
Upon activation the available slug length (post title) will become 3000, allowing long permalinks.
Required functionality is automatically applied without changing WordPress core files.
Even after core updates, plugin will automatically apply required changes and just keep your long URLs working.
Plugin requires at least MySQL 5.0.3
