Report::getMetricsForTable(): Argument #1 ($dataTable) must be of type Piwik\DataTable, bool given

[tsteur]

Seeing below error on Matomo 4.11. Not sure if it's Cohorts specific or an issue in core.

This can be recreated easily using the supplied URL, the date in the future might be the problem as the same URL with a date in the past works correctly. It looks like the core/Plugin/Visualization class is not gracefully handling scenarios where the datatable does not exist, so this issue may exist elsewhere.
