I was able to circumvent the problem by using "minimumReleaseAgeStrict: false" for pnpm.
Looks like default has changed to true in pnpm version 11.0.4:
https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/tree/v11.0.4

But would be great to be able to use minimumReleaseAge:

 WARN  The metadata of @eslint-react/ast is missing the "time" field; skipping the minimumReleaseAge check for this package.
 WARN  The metadata of @eslint-react/var is missing the "time" field; skipping the minimumReleaseAge check for this package.
 WARN  The metadata of @eslint-react/core is missing the "time" field; skipping the minimumReleaseAge check for this package.
 WARN  The metadata of @eslint-react/jsx is missing the "time" field; skipping the minimumReleaseAge check for this package.

if I understand correctly, "time" is a metadata field set by the npm registry, not something the package author can fix. Are you using a nonstandard registry?

[jkytomak]

No, we are using default.
Note that time field was set for the main package (@eslint-react/eslint-plugin), but not for any of sub packages.

Maybe it was hick up in npm registry side, because looks like with "@eslint-react/eslint-plugin": "5.7.2" install works fine.
There was also 1-2 other packages which has same problem.

Tested that install of "5.7.1" constantly fails, but "5.7.2" always works.

Looks like this might be an issue in pnpm 11:
pnpm/pnpm#11238

Doesn't surprise me, pnpm v11 is a very low-quality release, full of slop 😆.
