I repeatedly get "Plugin Finding Service Error" no matter how many times I try. What do I do?

I am trying to find out what plugins are outdated so I can update them. I used the plugin finding service icon on your help and tutorials page. I keep getting a "plugin finding service error". It directs me to try again later but I still get the same answer. What can I do?
