KDE Plasma National Geographic POTD not updating anymore

Hi,
In one of the latest releases Plasma added various POTDs (Picture of the Day) as wallpaper image sources, including NASA, NOAA, National Geographic and others.
For a first weeks everything worked more or less correctly, with pictures updating almost daily, skipping at most a few per week. A couple of weeks ago I noticed that the desktop background stopped updating to the newly published images, and remained the same ever since (precisely, it was the April 12th one).

I glanced over the source file responsible for that particular POTD, and the logic behind seems correct to me (parsing the page looking for the "meta" element with "og:image" name), so the problem I guess should be somewhere else.

All the other providers, except the Wikimedia one seem to be working.

Is there anyone else with the same problem, or is it just me? Any hints on how to debug or solve the problem?

Thank you.
