Biggest opportunity: “custom post timer”, “post timer” and “timer popup” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

of downloads still active

At least 10 of 3.7K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,786 plugins.

Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
