Can't upgrade Android Studio Kotlin plugin to latest (1.4.21) - android-studio

For some reason I have no option to upgrade my Kotlin plugin to the latest version.
Android Studio shows that the latest (1.4.21) is available:
But my installed version is still 1.3.72 and there's no option to upgrade it:
And suggestions? Is there another way to upgrade?
I'm running Android Studio 4.1.1 stable build on macOS Catalina.

If you wait long enough, the plug-in updater will finally notice it and offer to upgrade.

Is it the normal behaviour for Android Studio to lose all settings after an upgrade via Jetbrains Toolbox?

I'm currently using Android Studio Chipmunk 2021.2.1 Patch 2 212.5712.43.2112.8815526, and would like to upgrade to the latest Android Studio Dolphin 2021.3.1.
Jetbrains Toolbox is providing an option for this upgrade.
However, when the new version gets installed and I open Android Studio, all the settings that I had before are lost, and it looks like a fresh install.
Plugins, themes, are all lost, and it seems like I need to re-install them.
Thankfully I'm able to rollback to the previous version for now.
In other Jetbrains IDEs, there's usually a prompt to migrate over from a previous installation. This isn't coming up with Android Studio.
Is this the normal behaviour for Android Studio? And if not, is there something I'm missing?
More details:
Current Android Studio version: Android Studio Chipmunk 2021.2.1 Patch 2 212.5712.43.2112.8815526
Current Jetbrains Toolbox App version: 1.26.0.13072
OS: macOS Monterey Version 12.5.1 (21G83)

How to exclude SNAPSHOT or other dependencies from Android Studio Gradle suggestions

Android Studio prompts to upgrade dependencies when there are newer versions
A newer version of xxx.yyy:yyy-lib than 1.0.1 is available: 1.1.0-SNAPSHOT
However if you "contaminate" the dependencies with a snapshot, it will still prompt to upgrade. How can you tell Android Studio to ignore snapshot dependencies, or even a problematic version?
Can Dependency Resolution be used to filter the versions? https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/dependency_resolution.html

Android Studio Upgrade to not-latest version of kotlin plugin

I'd like to upgrade the kotlin plugin bundled with Android Studio to a newer version (1.4.30), but not the latest version (1.4.31). The reason is that I think there's a bug with the latest one, but I would still like to use a version of the plugin that's relatively new instead of the one that comes bundled by default with the latest version of Android Studio (1.3.72 - almost a year old).
Is there a way to do this?

Flutter Doctor doesn't recognize Android Studio and flutter dart plugins plugins New version 4.1 Update

How can I fix this issue
And also I have JDK 8
Installed flutter dart plugins
This is a known bug with Android Studio Version 4.1.
Your choices are either to downgrade to 4.0, or wait for an update. The issue is with Android Studio, not the plugins.There is no known workaround to make the plugins work until the Android Studio team fixes it.
See https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/67986 for details.

Cannot find Android studio 3.1 for mac

Unfortunately I have updated my Android studio to 3.2.4 and since then, many issues occured.
I read from the 0.57 Changelog
Android tooling has been updated to match newer configuration
requirements (SDK 27, gradle 4.4, and support library 27); building
with Android plugin 3.2 doesn't work due to the gradle scripts, so
please stay on Android Studio 3.1 for now
Now I can neither downgrade nor download version 3.1.
Old versions are available in Android Studio download archives.
