Comment (by saurabh.dhariwal):

 Test Environment:
         WordPress Version: 6.7
         PHP Version: 8.1

 Test Scenario

     Navigate to wp-admin → Plugins (/wp-admin/plugins.php).
     Ensure multiple plugins have pending updates.
     Click “Update Now” on multiple plugins one after another.
     Simulate a failed update (e.g., by not entering a license key for a
 premium plugin).
     Observe if the remaining updates continue or stop.

 Expected Result

     If one plugin update fails, the remaining updates should continue
 without requiring a page refresh.

 Actual Result

     When one update fails, all subsequent plugin updates stop.
     The user needs to refresh the page to restart the remaining updates.

 Test Conclusion

     Status: 🟠 Issue Reproduced
     Impact: Medium (affects bulk updates and user experience)
     Recommendation: Investigate why failed updates block the queue and
 consider handling failures without requiring a page refresh.
