Yes, Plume is having an off year.  It has been erupting in series (see the
graphs and data from the data loggers at 
http://www.geyserstudy.org/geyser.aspx?pGeyserNo=PLATE )

There was a reported eruption this week (I don't have the data here and
now).  I'll be downloading Plate's logger tomorrow and the latest data
should be posted early next week at the latest.
