It takes time to locate the desired partition. Once there, the index lookup is not enough faster to make up for it.

That is, a non-partitioned table with INDEX(plug, created) will run that query about as fast as a table partitioned on `plug`.

The BTree for 500M rows will be 5 levels deep. The BTree for your partitioned table (5M rows per partition) will be about 4 levels deep. The tradeoff is between picking the partition versus going one extra level in a BTree -- hardly any difference.
