For nearly all *-version check plugins, EOL dates are taken from

  1. Local SQLite DB cache (valid for 24 hours). If not successful...
  2. From https://endoflife.date/api (and then cached). If not successful (e.g. if server does not have internet access)...
  3. From local JSON definition file endoflifedate.py (definition copied from endoflife.date), and then cached.

Other users wanted the described behavior because many servers don't have internet access, so this is the default. But adding a switch to get a warning if something goes wrong when accessing the Internet makes sense.

All other plugins that rely on internet access like nextcloud-security-scan already complain and return UNKNOWN if there is something wrong.
