Plasma 6.0.5 broke Individual Core Usage

I updated to Plasma 6.0.5 the other day, after rebooting, Individual Core Usage widget ceased to exist.
It turned from this:

To this:

Yes, there's nothing now. It got its place but doesn't render anything. Is it only me or it's a known issue?

I am experiencing the same issue on Endeavor OS.  The widget is about 10 pixels wide and you can interact with it but it doesn't display any info.  If you click on it then it brings up the popup of all of your cores.

Exactly, same issue here. If you do find a way to fix that, please let me know.

Until the widget gets ported to Qt6 it probably never will work. Look to the widget's author/maintainer for an answer. And has anyone gone to https://store.kde.org/browse/ to look for a suitable replacement?

I just found out that the Individual Core Usage widget is just a configured System Monitor Sensor widget (to show individual core usage) which is installed in plasma by default.
This is System Monitor Sensor plasma widget:

And this is how I can configure it to show individual core usage in a bar chart:

Even though I manually configure System Monitor Sensor manually like this, the problem still persists.
And no I haven't looked for any alternatives.

Do you have the relevant packages installed to enable the data collection, like qt6-sensors? lm_sensors?

Same, since 6.0.5. What's even weirder: clicking on the empty area shows a working popup. Looking like this:

# plasmawindowed /usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.systemmonitor.cpucore/

Anyone found a solution? I'm on 6.0.5 now, and still the same issue.

Re: Plasma 6.0.5 broke Individual Core Usage

Answering my own question, these 2 bug reports both indicate that it will be fixed in 6.1.0: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=487504 and https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=487671.
