predictable_unloader won't do anything unless the server command pred_unload_plugins was input. are you using the confogl? confogl do actually triggers predictable_unloader if no one else in the server for a while. and this behavior will refresh all plugins instead of just unloading them.

ofc this case needs the confogl_off.cfg be excuted

I do use confogl and confogl_off

then I gusse everything is normal. if other plugins didn't reload back I guess you probably put them in plugins/optional folder.
and btw predictable_unloader will unload itself after all plugins unloaded and refreshed.

the plugins that are not in optional also werent loaded back

have to say that I have encountered this issue too. after typing sm_resetmatch in the server console, all plugins did fully unloaded but predictable_unloader didn't refresh the plugins, also didn't unload itself. kinda wired to be like this. my server is linux dedicated. I will see if I can find more if I have time on this.

probably the reason that timers won't work if server is hibernating. plugin itself is fine.

You are right, timer won't work if server is hibernating
https://github.com/SirPlease/L4D2-Competitive-Rework/blob/master/addons/sourcemod/scripting/predictable_unloader.sp#L110-L111

	CreateTimer(0.1, RefreshPlugins);
	CreateTimer(0.5, UnloadSelf);

I think the solution is to change hibernate before timer

	FindConVar("sv_hibernate_when_empty").SetBool(false);
	CreateTimer(0.1, RefreshPlugins);
	CreateTimer(0.5, UnloadSelf);

Unloading all plugins in game is very dangerous move, some plugins doesn't disable patch or restore offset(Address) in OnPluginEnd().
And then path/move offset(Address) again when load plugin => server crash

If you suffer this problem, suggest use plugin_unload_protect
